Actually I am not sure if the defroster wires are good, but I think the only way to test that end of the unit, is if I know I can get 12V back there(or I guess I could hook a battery directly to the tabs on the window. I figure to work on the circuit from the beginning i.e. the switch. Also once I get the switch fixed, I plan on trying that paint on stuff-if the wires on the window are no good. Update: I got the switch back in, and drove it tonight-rear window fogged up, so I tried the switch-I don't think I have it cleaned well enough, or I need to put a stronger spring in there-maybe from one of those ball point pens. What happens when I hit the switch-is nothing, but if I hold the rocker in a certain position, I can hear the relay click over. It is too late now to do anything, but next weekend I will pull the switch again, try to clean it better and try to find a stronger spring. The spring is what helps the contact, right? -kevin '65 kombi '71 sqbk somerville, ma -----Original Message----- From: Dave Hall [mailto:dave@hallvw.clara.co.uk] Subject: Re: re:defroster switch Are you sure you can get heat from the defroster element? Not much point sorting the switch unless the window warms up. I can't remember if you had already checked that. Dave.
