Re: Rear defroster question.

[Todd Young <tyoung@wamnet.com>]

Didn't hear anything before leaving work, called the dealer, they
couldn't find a seperate relay in the "family album" either, but they did
have new switches in stock for $56 US, OUCH! OK, time to go home and tear
into the switch again. Decided to resolder some/all of the contacts.
While I was at it, I had the digital voltmeter out and did some more
tests. I also wrote down which were the two "fattest" wires going into
the switch, as the problem appeared to be power to the grid. I was
playing around checking one of the terminals for continuity to the relay
and happened to press down on the solder joint, HEY!, there's the tone I
was looking for. Turns out it was a broken solder joint on one of the
relay terminals. Resoldered it and all is well. Just proves the point,
when working on switches/relays, when in doubt, resolder all the
terminals.
