Recently Ive noticed that when I press the button for the rear defroster to go on, it only stays on for about 5-10 sec and doesnt even melt snow or even de-fog the rear window. Is there a relay that I should replace, or anyway I can fix this so the defroster will stay on longer?

 

You'll have to remove the climate control pod and replace the defroster timer on the back. My local dealer did that to mine under warranty.

 

So basically take out the climate contol pod from the dash, and replace the timer on the back of this unit? Do you know what it looks like?

 

You might try to replace the relay first. It's by the drivers door in the dash with the fuses. That fixed mine.

 

IT's not a relay it's a tin looking circuit breaker..
Replace it with a 30 amp FUSE and that should do it..[it's a common problem!]

 

sorry (read relay, thought relay ) Should be circuit breaker

 

Bingo, fixed my problem too.

 

Thanks for all the reply's. I'll get a 30 amp fuse first thing in the morning

 

That bothered me for the longest time on my car and now it's gone. Thanx

 

THANK YOU!!!!

my '94 has the habit of turning off the rear defroster after 3-5 minutes.

I just tried it, with the fuse panel off, rear defroster on, the breaker would get real hot. After 5 minutes, the defroster turned off. The power seat lost power too - it runs off the same breaker. After a minute to cool of, both defroster and seat work again.

I just swapped the breaker with the one above it (Window breaker), now it stays on for 10 minutes, as it should.
