    The rear window defogger uses a heating grid baked onto the inside of the rear window. When the defogger control switch is turned on, current is sent to the heating grid for 5-10 minutes before automatically shutting off. The document provides instructions for testing the heating grid and control switch to identify any breaks or issues in the defogger system.

    DEFOGGER - REAR WINDOW

    1988 Cadillac DeVille

    Defoggers - Rear Window


    GENERAL MOTORS WINDOW DEFOGGER GRID

    Cadillac; DeVille, Fleetwood

    DESCRIPTION
    The heated rear window defogger uses a heating grid baked to
    inside of rear window. Window heat is controlled by control switch
    and timer/relay. When defogger is operating, indicator light will
    glow to show system is on. Current feed to defogger is through a
    circuit breaker and power to control switch is through a fuse in fuse
    block.

    OPERATION
    The heated rear window operates when ignition is on and
    control switch is moved to "ON" position. The timer/relay will keep
    defogger on for 5-10 minutes, or until ignition is turned off. Window
    grid draws approximately 20 amps. On models with A/C, blower fan is
    connected by a relay to window grid to prevent excessive current draw.

    TESTING

    GRID TEST
    1) Start engine and turn control switch on. Using a test
    light connected to ground, lightly touch each grid line. If test
    light shows full brilliance at both ends of all grid lines, check for
    loose ground wire. Test light brilliance will gradually change as
    test light probe is moved from left bus bar to right bus bar.
    2) Contact each grid line a few inches on either side of
    glass centerline to eliminate the possibility of missing a break in
    grid line. If a problem on a grid line is detected, place test light
    probe on that grid line at left bus bar and move probe toward right
    bus bar until light goes out. This will indicate a break in
    continuity of grid line. See Fig. 1.

    SWITCH TEST
    DeVille & Fleetwood
    1) Turn ignition on and check Brown and Red/Black wires at
    relay block for 12 volts. Dk. Blue and Purple wires should have zero
    volts. Turn control switch on and check Dk. Blue and Purple wires for
    12 volts. Check middle of grid for 5-7 volts.
    2) Check for 12 volts on both sides of mirror defogger
    in-line fuse. Check for 12 volts at right and left mirror connectors
    in front doors. Check for proper ground.
