Rear Window Defogger Grid Repair........... 2Rear Window Defogger Grid Test............. 1
Switch Testing............................ 2
Using heating elements bonded to the rear window
glass, the rear defogger will clear condensation, frost
and light snow coverings from the rear window.
The horizontal grid lines and vertical bus bar lines,
printed and baked on inside surface of the rear win-
dow glass, comprise an electrical circuit. The electri-
cally 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.
The electrical current required to produce the heat
in the grid is supplied through a relay and driver op-
erated switch. When the switch is momentarily de-
pressed, the relay senses a voltage change. This
voltage change causes the relay to change state and
complete a circuit to energize the relay. Once the re-
lay energizes, the contacts close connecting the grid
to battery power.
On the XJ, the power circuit to the grid is pro-
tected by the 25 amp, #18 fuse in the fuse box.
Power for fuse #18 comes from the power distribu-
tion center, fuse #F10. Power for the relay is pro-
tected by the 20 amp, #8 fuse located in the fuse box.
On the YJ, the grid is protected by a 25 amp #6
fuse, located in the fuse box. Power for the relay is
protected by 15 amp #9 fuse, located in the fuse box.
To defog the rear window, momentarily depress the
rocker switch. A light on the rocker switch will illu-
minate indicating that the defogger is operating.
If the ignition switch is ON the first activation of
the defog/defrost feature will last for 10 minutes.
Succeeding activations will last for 5 minutes unless
the ignition switch is turned OFF; then it will recy-
cle back to 10 minutes for the first activation.To stop defogger operation, momentarily push the
switch a second time.
CAUTION: Use care when washing the inside of the
rear window to prevent damage to the defogger
heating elements. Use a soft cloth and a mild wash-
ing solution. Wiping motions should be parallel to
the heating elements. Also, keep all objects a safe
distance from the window to prevent damaging the
heating elements.
REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER GRID TEST
It is possible, that a break may exist or occur in an
individual grid line resulting in no current flow
through the line. When a grid has an open circuit,
the area of glass normally cleared by that grid re-
mains fogged or iced unless, and until it is cleared by
the adjacent grids.
With the engine running at idle, push the rear
window defogger switch to the ON position and re-
lease. The pilot lamp in the rocker switch should
light, indicating defogger operation.
Using a 12-volt DC voltmeter, contact the positive
lead to the feed side vertical bus element on the in-
side surface of the glass. Contact the negative lead to
the ground side bus element. Meter should read be-
tween 11 and 13 volts. Connect the negative lead of
the voltmeter to a good ground; the meter reading
should be constant.
Keep the negative lead connected to ground. Use
the positive lead and carefully contact each grid at
the approximate centerline of the window.
JREAR WINDOW DEFOGGER 8N - 1

A voltage drop of one-half the full amount, approx-
imately 6 volts, indicates a good grid or closed cir-
cuit.
A voltage drop of 12 volts at the centerline indi-
cates a break in the grid between the positive volt-
meter lead and the ground.
No voltage drop (0 volts) at the centerline indicates
a break in the grid between the centerline and the
voltage source or lead.
The exact location of the break can be pinpointed
by moving positive voltmeter lead to the left or right
along grid. An abrupt change in the voltage reading
will be noticed. The break is at that point in the
grid.
REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER GRID REPAIR
Locate the broken or open grid.
Use the grid repair kit (available as a service part)
by using the following procedure:
(1) Mark the location of the broken or open grid on
the exterior surface of the glass using a suitable
marking pencil.
(2) Lightly rub the area to be repaired (inside the
rear window) using fine steel wool. Clean the area
with alcohol.
(3) Attach two strips of masking tape to the inside
surface of the rear window (above and below the
break in the grid) (Fig. 1).
(4) Remove package separator clamp and mix plas-
tic conductive epoxy thoroughly. Fold in half and cut
center corner to dispense epoxy.
(5) Apply conductive epoxy through slit in mask-
ing tape. Overlap both ends of the break.
(6) For a terminal or pigtail replacement, mask ad-
jacent areas so epoxy can be extended onto line and
buss bar. Apply a thin layer of epoxy to area where
terminal was fastened and to adjacent line.
(7) Apply a thin layer of conductive epoxy on ter-
minal and place terminal on desired location. To pre-
vent terminal from moving while the epoxy is curing,
it must be wedged or clamped.
(8) Carefully remove masking tape from grid line.
(9) Allow epoxy to cure 24 hours at room tempera-ture or use heat gun with a 260É-371ÉC (500É-700ÉF)
range for 15 minutes. Hold gun approximately
254mm (10 inches) from repaired area.
(10) After conductive epoxy is properly cured re-
move wedge from terminal and check out operation
of rear window defogger. Do not attach connectors
until curing is complete.
