GENERAL INFORMATION
NS vehicles use lighting on the interior and exte-
rior of the vehicle for illuminating and indicating
purposes. Lighting circuits are protected by fuses.
Lighting circuits require an overload protected power
source, on/off device, lamps and body ground to oper-
ate properly. Plastic lamps require a wire in the har-
ness to supply body ground to the lamp socket.
Replace sockets and bulbs that are corroded.
Some of the interior and exterior lighting functions
are governed by the body controller. The headlamp,
dome, and the door ajar switches provide signals to
the body controller. The body controller in turn acti-
vates relay(s) in order to provide either a ground or
feed line to the appropriate lamp(s).
Wire connectors can make intermittent contact or
become corroded. Before coupling wire connectors,
inspect the terminals inside the connector. Male ter-
minals should not be bent or disengaged from the
insulator. Female terminals should not be sprung
open or disengaged from the insulator. Bent and
sprung terminals can be repaired using needle nose
pliers and pick tool. Corroded terminals appear
chalky or green. Corroded terminals should be
replaced to avoid recurrence of the problem symp-
toms.
Begin electrical system failure diagnosis by testing
related fuses in the fuse block and power distribution
center. Verify that bulbs are in good condition andtest continuity of the circuit ground. Refer to Group
8W, Wiring Diagrams, for component location and cir-
cuit information.SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: EYE PROTECTION SHOULD BE USED
WHEN SERVICING GLASS COMPONENTS. PER-
SONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.
CAUTION: Do not touch the glass of halogen bulbs
with fingers or other possibly oily surface, reduced
bulb life will result.
Do not use bulbs with higher candle power than
indicated in the Bulb Application table at the end of
this group. Damage to lamp and/or Daytime Run-
ning Lamp Module can result.
Do not use fuses, circuit breakers or relays hav-
ing greater amperage value than indicated on the
fuse panel or in the Owners Manual.
When it is necessary to remove components to ser-
vice another, it should not be necessary to apply
excessive force or bend a component to remove it.
Before damaging a trim component, verify hidden
fasteners or captured edges are not holding the com-
ponent in place.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
INTRODUCTION
The electrically heated Rear Window Defogger (Fig.
1), Heated Power Side View Mirrors, and Heated
Windshield Wiper De-icer (Fig. 2) is available on NS
vehicles.
The Rear Window Defogger system consists of two
vertical bus bars linked by a series of grid lines on
the inside surface of the rear window. The electrical
circuit consists of the rear defogger switch in the
HVAC and a relay with timer switch to turn OFF the
system after ten minutes. The main feed circuit is
protected by fuse one (40 amp) in the Junction Block.
The rear defogger switch and relay also activates the
heated power side view mirrors and heated wind-
shield wiper de-icer. The HVAC rear defogger switch
is protected by fuse ten (10 amp) in the Junction
Block. The heated mirror circuit is protected by fuse
12 (10 amp) in the junction block. The heated wind-
shield wiper de-icer circuit is protected by fuse 21 (25
amp) in the Junction Block.
The Heated Windshield Wiper Deicer is also acti-
vated when the DEFROST mode is selected on the
HVAC. In the DEFROST mode the rear defogger
relay/timer is bypassed, the heated windshield wiper
de-icer will stay ON until the another mode is
selected. For circuit information and component loca-
tion refer to Group 8W, Wiring Diagrams.
CAUTION: Since grid lines can be damaged or
scraped off with sharp instruments, care should be
taken in cleaning the glass or removing foreign
materials, decals or stickers. Normal glass cleaning
solvents or hot water used with rags or toweling is
recommended.
HVAC MOUNTED SWITCH
The rear window defogger switch is integrated into
the HVAC (Fig. 3). An LED indicator will illuminate
when the switch is activated. The switch energizesthe timing circuit and activates the rear window
defogger relay. The relay controls the current to flow
to the grids of the rear window defogger, heated
power side view mirrors and the heated windshield
wiper de-icer. The defogger relay will be on for
approximately 10 minutes or until the control switch
or ignition is turned off.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
SYSTEM TEST
Electrically heated rear window defogger or the
heated windshield wiper deicer operation can be
checked on the vehicle in the following manner:
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(2) Using a ammeter on the battery, turn the rear
defogger control switch to the ON position, a distinct
increase in amperage draw should be noted.
(3) The rear window defogger or the heated wind-
shield wiper deicer operation can be checked by feel-
ing the glass. A distinct difference in temperature
between the grid lines and adjacent clear glass can
be detected in 3 to 4 minutes of operation.
(4) Using a DC voltmeter (Fig. 4) contact terminal
B with the negative lead, and terminal A with the
positive lead. The voltmeter should read 10-14 volts.
(5) Indicator light illumination means that there is
power available at the switch only and does not nec-
essarily verify system operation.
(6) If turning the defogger switch ON, no distinct
current draw on the ammeter the problem should be
isolated in the following manner:
²Confirm that ignition switch is ON.
²Ensure that the heated rear window or the
heated windshield wiper deicer feed pigtail is con-
nected to the wiring harness and that the ground
pigtail is in fact grounded.
²Ensure that the proper fuse in the Junction
Block is OK.(7) When the above steps have been completed and
the system is still inoperative, one or more of the fol-
lowing is defective:
²HVAC switch
²Rear window defogger relay in the relay bank.
²Check for loose connector or a wire pushed out
of connector.
²Rear window or the windshield grid lines (all
grid lines would have to be broken, or one of the feed
pigtails not connected to the bus bar, for no ammeter
deflection).
(8) If turning the switch ON produces severe volt-
meter deflection, the circuit should be closely checked
for a shorting condition.
(9) If the system operation has been verified but
indicator LED does not light, replace switch.
(10) For detailed wiring information, refer to
Group 8W, Wiring Diagrams.
GRID LINE TEST
The horizontal grid lines and vertical bus bar lines
printed and baked on inside surface of the window
glass makes up an electrical parallel circuit. The
electrically conductive lines are composed of a silver
ceramic material which when baked on glass
becomes bonded to the glass and is highly resistant
to abrasion. It is possible, however, that a break may
exist or occur in an individual grid line resulting in
no current flow through the line. To detect breaks in
grid lines, the following procedure is required:
(1) Turn ignition and rear window defogger control
switch ON. The indicator light should come on.
(2) Using a DC voltmeter with 0-15 volt range,
contact vertical bus bar connecting grid lines on pas-
senger side of vehicle at terminal A with negative
lead of voltmeter (Fig. 4). With positive lead of volt-
meter, contact vertical bus bar on driver side of vehi-
cle at terminal B. The voltmeter should read 10-14
volts.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued)
Page 510 of 1938

DOOR LOCK INHIBIT FEATURE
The BCM cancels out the door lock switch actua-
tion, when the key is in the Ignition Switch and a
door is open. After the key is removed from the Igni-
tion Switch, or the doors are closed, the power door
locks will operate normally.
SLIDING DOOR LOCK MEMORY FEATURE
The door locks on the sliding door(s) can be actu-
ated when the door(s) are closed. If the sliding
door(s) are open when the door locks are actuated,
the BCM will hold the lock command in memory
until the door(s) is closed. When the door is closed
and the door jamb terminals make contact, signaling
the BCM to lock the sliding door(s) automatically.
Actuating the door lock switch to the unlock position
before the sliding door(s) are closed will cancel the
lock request.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK SYSTEM TEST
When using a scan tool (DRB) for testing the auto-
matic door lock system, refer to the Body Diagnostic
Procedures Manual. Refer to Group 8W, Wiring Dia-
grams for circuit information and component loca-
tions.
DOOR LOCK MOTOR
Verify battery condition before testing door lock
motor(s), refer to Group 8A, Battery for proper diag-
nosis procedures.
To determine which motor is faulty, check each
individual door for electrical lock and unlock or dis-
connect the motor connectors one at a time, while
operating the door lock switch. In the event that
none of the motors work, the problem may be caused
by a shorted motor, a relay or a bad switch. Discon-
necting the defective motor will allow the others to
work.
To test an individual door lock motor, disconnect
the electrical connector from the motor. To lock the
door, connect a 12 volt power source to the positive
pin of the lock motor and a ground wire to the other
pin (Fig. 1), (Fig. 2), (Fig. 3) and refer to Group 8W,
Wiring Diagrams for pin locations. To unlock the door
reverse the wire connections at the motor pin termi-
nals. If these results are NOT obtained, replace the
motor.
DOOR LOCK SWITCH TEST
(1) Remove door lock switch bezel assembly from
door. Refer to Group 23, Body for removal proce-
dures.
(2) Disconnect wire connector from back of door
lock switch.(3) Depress switch to LOCK position.
(4) Using an ohmmeter, test switch resistance
between Pins 2 and 3. Refer to Door Lock Switch
Test and (Fig. 4).
(5) Depress switch to UNLOCK position.
(6) Test resistance between Pins 2 and 3.
(7) If resistance values are not within the param-
eters shown replace the door lock switch.
