No rear defrost for you!

Post by jollybengali »

Hi Everybody,

I was wonder if anyone experienced a problem like this:

- rear defroster not working(relay connections burnt and corroded)
- with replacement relay defroster stays on constantly and drains the battery

If so, please enlighten me on your solution if u have one

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Replace the plug as well. This happens to almost everyone who uses the defrost.

You'll find they used a 40A fuse on a 20A relay. Time to add a bigger relay.
