DESCRIPTION
CAUTION: Grid lines can be damaged or scraped
off with sharp instruments. Care should be taken in
cleaning
glass
or
removing
foreign
materials,
decals or stickers. Normal glass cleaning solvents
or hot water used with rags or toweling is recom-
mended.
The rear window defogger system, also known as
the electric backlight (EBL), consists of a backglass
with two vertical bus bars linked by a series of grid
lines fired onto the inside surface of the rear window.
The EBL system is turned On or Off by a control
switch (Fig. 1) located in the instrument panel near
the right side of the steering wheel, which sends a
request signal to the rear window defogger module
that operates the left and right rear window defogger
relays located in the fuse/relay block under the driv-
ers seat.
Circuit protection is provided by a 30 amp fuse
also located in the fuse/relay block.
OPERATION
When the rear window defogger switch is pressed
to the On position, current is directed through the
switch to the rear window defogger module. The rear
window defogger module then grounds the control
side of the left and right rear window defogger (EBL)
