8W-48 REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER
The Rear Window Defogger system is powered by a
40 amp fuse located in the Power Distribution Center
(PDC) on circuit A4. This circuit is HOT at all times.
The system is also powered by a 10 amp fuse located
in cavity 8 of the fuse block, this fuse is HOT in the
RUN position only.
When the operator presses the rear window defog-
ger switch the contacts internal to the switch CLOSE
and the timer starts. When the switch is released the
timer circuity keeps the relay energized for the spec-
ified time.
Voltage is passed through the switch on the A4 cir-
cuit to the C15 circuit and then to the rear window
defogger grid. The grid consists of two bus bars and
grid lines that form a parallel circuit. When voltage
is passed through the grid, the grid lines heat up and
heat the rear window.
Grounding for the rear window defogger switch is
provided on the Z2 circuit and terminates at the
instrument panel right center support. The grid uses
the grounding point at the rear body in the right
wheel house.
When the system is in operation, a L.E.D. located
in the switch, indicates to the operator the system is
functioning. The switch is also illuminated when the
headlamp switch is in the PARK or ON position.
Power for the illumination circuit comes from the 4
amp fuse, located in cavity 12 of the fuse block, on
the E2 circuit.
