| Description of the problem | Rear window defroster works intermittently. After doing research and reading many forums i learned there is a contact in rear window that has shorted out and caused many rear window sections to pop and shatter the glass. When i turn my rear defrost on most of the time it doesn't work but when it does i am afraid the glass will break like it had for so many others. This had also caused me not to use it when my kids are in the truck. |
