    Hey guys! My rear defrost is not working. I know I won't be needing it soon if at all for a while but want it working before next season.

    I have check the fuses and they look good. Unless I should be looking for something different with those combo fuses (let me know). Just wanted to see if there is anything else obvious before I begin tracing back from the window? Perhaps the elements are just bad...who knows. Let me know if anyone has troubleshot theirs or has any pointers.

    Thanks in advance.

    Did you visually check the 15A MIR HTR fuse since the rear defrost is tied into the mirror heater. In fact, if you select mirror heater/rear defrost, do the mirrors get hot after a few minutes ?
    There's also a 40A DEFOG fuseable link in ENG bay to protect rear window defogger and mirror heater.

    I did not check the mirrors nor the fuse for it. I was not sure if mine had that. Is it safe to assume that if you have rear defrost you have the heated mirrors? The 40A Fuse link is what I inspected and looked good.

    I will find the mirror fuse and look later. Thanks for the info.
