#1: Rear Heated Window Author: Jamerz, Posted: Thu Nov 09, 2017 5:14 pm ---- My Rear-view window hilariously clears the top 4 lines and nothing below, i have tried disconnecting and reconnecting it but it doesn't seem to want to work, It was working perfectly last year?
Do you guys gave any ideas as to what it could be?

Given that the +/- wire connections are (IIRC)on the bottom and all heater lines connect to thicker conductors running top/bottom on the sides, [dis/re]connecting will do nothing as the upper lines are getting power...
I'd look carefully for breaks in the thin lines where the window isn't cleared - break-> no current through the line -> no heat...
If there are breaks, they make conductive paint, like nail polish, that can be used to bridge the gaps.
Could have been a piece if cargo that rubbed against the inside of the glass, cutting the lines...

You know what thats probably spot on totally forgot about some big chairs I moved. Do you think i could bodge it with some tape and copper wire ?

If you're decent at soldering you might be able to carefully scrape the ends either side of a break down to metal and then solder a strand from a multi -strand flexible wire across the gap. Don't think tape be able to press it down enough for good contact.
