Rear defrost inoperative

[wehan]

OK. Found somethig. Pull the small little door on passenger side on the kick panel. Like sit Kk passenger side and bottom left is a panel. Pull it. Check the wiring to the BCM and check the fuses for the HVAC. Report back.

As best as I can tell the wiring looks good, fuses for hvac all good.

Pull em and check it. Fuse 16. I'm searching for the wire number to do a ohm test from bcm plug to rear defroster.

"found a connector beside the left rear speaker under the deck lid inside the car was burnt. I cut an soldered the wire together for the rear window defogger and found it "

Found that. Apparently in the trunk. If u lower the seats u can see from inside. There is a plug on the left speaker for the rear window. Check that plug.

Found the power wire and it checks out all the way back to the rear seat belt mount area, I loose it there so now I'm pulling rear side panels to further trace it, hope I don't have to pull the rear deck cover.

Found the problem.

Time for some soldering and creative splicing. I figure I'll get the next size or 2 up from what's used here and bypass the plug, Solider in the new larger gauge piece and shrink wrap the whole chunk.

Under the rear deck cover, you can see the edge of my plok 6x9 in the upper left corner.... I just put these speakers in about a month ago and you think I would have noticed that!

Yeah, in a way I wish I could have gotten to it from the trunk, but at the same time it will be so much easier to solder there, I'd have to get into positions that would impress a Porn star to solder that if it was under the deck in the trunk lol

Lol. Hahahahahahahaha get a star and ask her. "show me how its done on a cobalt" lol
