Rear Window Defogger Grid Test
- Ignition ON, turn on the rear defogger.
- Verify that a test lamp illuminates between each rear defogger grid line and ground. The test lamp should be off when testing at the ground side of the grid and get brighter as the test lamp moves closer to the voltage supply side of the grid. The test lamp should be dim when testing each grid line in the middle.
- If the test lamp remains bright at the middle of a grid line, test for an open between the test point and the ground circuit.
- If the test lamp remains off at the middle of a grid line, test for an open between the test point and the voltage supply side of the grid.
