Another problem on rear window defrosting?
My rear window defroster doesn't heat the window strips. Or may just not come on @ all? Anyway the only item I've looked at is the fuse.
Any recommendation on how to troubleshoot the rear window defroster problem? (73' 2002)


The first thing you should do is take a meter or test light to the wire that connects to the grid in the back window. You should have system power (+12V) when you have the switch on (key at run position, of course). If you have power, than as Dwight sez, your defrost grid is FUBAR. If you don't have power at the rear window, then you will need to trace back through the circuit. The next spot to check is the switch.
