HEATED GLASS - SERVICE INFORMATION
DESCRIPTION
CAUTION: Grid lines can be damaged or scraped off with sharp instruments. Care should be taken in cleaning glass or removing foreign materials, decals or stickers. Normal glass cleaning solvents or hot water
used with rags or toweling is recommended.
The rear window defogger system, also known as
electric backlight (EBL), consists of two vertical bus
bars (1) linked by a series of grid lines (2) fired onto
the inside surface of the rear window (3).
The EBL system is turned On or Off by a switch and a
timing circuit integral to the A/C-heater control located
at the center of the instrument panel.
Circuit protection is provided by two cartridge fuses
located in the integrated power module (IPM). One
fuse is for the control circuit and the other fuse is for
the heated grid circuit.
DR/DHHEATED GLASS - SERVICE INFORMATION8G - 7
OPERATION
The electric backlight (EBL) system is controlled by a
momentary switch (1) located in the A/C-heater control
(2) on the instrument panel. When the rear window
defogger switch is pressed to the On position, the
A/C-heater control energizes the rear window defogger (EBL) relay and the heated mirror relay, which
then directs battery current to the rear defogger grid
lines and to the heated side view mirrors. The grid
lines heat the glass to help clear the rear window and
side mirror surfaces of fog or frost.
An amber indicator (3) in the rear window defogger
switch will illuminate to indicate when the EBL system
is turned on. The A/C-heater control contains the EBL
system control circuitry including the timer logic.
NOTE: The EBL system turns off automatically
after approximately ten minutes of operation.
The EBL system will be automatically turned off after a
programmed time interval of about ten minutes each
time the rear window defogger switch is pressed. The EBL system will automatically shut off if the ignition switch is
turned to the Off position, or it can be turned off manually by pressing the rear window defogger switch a second
time.
Repair of the rear window defogger grid lines, bus bars, terminals or pigtail wires can be accomplished using the
Mopar Rear Window Defogger Repair Kit (Part Number 04549275) or equivalent (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
HEATED GLASS/REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER GRID - STANDARD PROCEDURE - GRID LINE AND TERMINAL
REPAIR).
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
ELECTRIC BACKLIGHT (EBL) AND HEATED MIRROR SYSTEM
NOTE: Illumination of the defogger switch indicator lamp does not necessary mean that electrical current is
reaching the rear window glass and/or the outside rear view mirror heating grids.
NOTE: For circuit descriptions and diagrams of the rear window defogger (EBL) and heated mirror systems,
refer to 8W - WIRING DIAGRAM INFORMATION.
Operation of the electrical backlight (EBL) and heated mirror systems can be confirmed by the following:
8G - 8HEATED GLASS - SERVICE INFORMATIONDR/DH
1. Use a scan tool and check for diagnostic trouble
codes (DTCs) related to the A/C-heater control. If
no DTCs are found, go to Step 2. If any DTCs are
found, repair as required, then proceed to Step 2
2. Turn the ignition switch to the On position. Set the
rear window defogger switch in the On position.
The rear window defogger and heated outside rear
view mirror operation can be checked by feeling
the glass surfaces of the rear window or outside
rear view mirrors. A distinct difference in temperature between the grid lines (1) and the adjacent
clear glass (2) or the mirror glass should be
detected within three to four minutes of operation.
3. If a rear window glass temperature difference is not
detected, use a 12-volt DC voltmeter (4) and contact the rear glass heating grid power feed terminal
A (3) with the positive lead, and the ground terminal B (5) with the negative lead. The voltmeter
should read battery voltage. If the voltmeter does
not read battery voltage, check the following:
• Confirm that the ignition switch is in the On position.
• Make sure that the rear glass heating grid feed wire and ground wire are connected to the terminals. Confirm
that the ground wire has continuity to ground.
• Check the EBL relay and fuses located in the integrated power module (IPM) in the engine compartment. The
relay and fuses must be tight in their receptacles and all electrical connections must be secure. Refer to the
appropriate wiring information for diagnosis and testing of the ISO-standard relay.
When the above steps have been completed and the rear glass heating grid is still inoperative, one or more of the
following is faulty:
• Rear window defogger switch in the A/C-heater control.
• Rear window defogger grid lines (all grid lines would have to be broken, or the power feed or the ground wire
disconnected, for the entire heating grid to be inoperative).
4. If a heated outside rear view mirror glass temperature difference is not detected, use a 12-volt DC voltmeter (4)
and contact the rear view mirror glass heating grid power feed terminal 1 with the positive lead, and the ground
terminal 5 with the negative lead. The voltmeter should read battery voltage. If the voltmeter does not read battery voltage, check the following:
• Confirm that the ignition switch is in the On position.
• Make sure that the rear view mirror glass heating grid feed wire and ground wire are fully connected to the
terminals. Confirm that the ground wire has continuity to ground.
• Check the heated mirror relay and fuse located in the integrated power module (IPM) in the engine compartment. The relay and fuse must be tight in their receptacles and all electrical connections must be secure. Refer
to the appropriate wiring information for diagnosis and testing of the ISO-standard relay.
When the above steps have been completed and the rear view mirror glass heating grid is still inoperative, one or
more of the following is faulty:
• Rear window defogger switch in the A/C-heater control.
• Rear view mirror grids (both the left and right mirror grids would have to had to fail or the power feed or the
ground wire disconnected, for the both mirror grids to be inoperative).
5. If the operation of the EBL system and/or the heated mirror system has been verified but the defogger LED
indicator does not illuminate, replace the A/C-heater control (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/
CONTROLS/A/C HEATER CONTROL - REMOVAL).
DR/DHHEATED GLASS - SERVICE INFORMATION8G - 9
SWITCH-REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER
DESCRIPTION
The switch for the rear window defogger (EBL) system
(1) is integrated into the A/C-heater control (2), which
is located in the center of the instrument panel. When
the rear window defogger switch is activated, the timing circuit integral to the A/C-heater control operates
the rear window defogger (EBL) relay and the heated
mirror relay.
When the relays are activated, current is directed to
the rear window defogger and the outside rear view
mirror grids. The grids heat the rear window and rear
wiew mirror glass to help clear the surfaces of fog or
frost.
OPERATION
An LED indicator will illuminate when the rear window defogger switch is activated. When the switch is activated, it
energizes the timing circuit integral to the A/C-heater control, which then activates the rear window defogger (EBL)
relay and the heated mirror relay. The EBL relay controls the current flow to the grids of the rear window defogger.
The EBL system will be on for approximately ten minutes or until the rear window defogger switch or the ignition
switch is turned off.
The rear window defogger switch and the rear window defogger LED indicator cannot be repaired and, if faulty or
damaged, the A/C-heater control must be replaced (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/CONTROLS/
CONTROL-A/C HEATER - REMOVAL).
