Rear Window Defroster: Lead of The Circuit Tester Push

The document provides instructions for testing and repairing a rear window defroster. It contains the following key points: 1. Do not use the rear window defroster until paint is completely dry, which may take 30 minutes with a hot air blower at 150°C or 24 hours at 25°C. 2. To test filaments, connect a voltmeter to the positive and negative sides and measure voltage, which should reduce from 12V to 0V as the probe is slid. 3. To inspect the rear window defroster relay, check for continuity between terminals using an ohmmeter and replace the relay if voltages are incorrect.
