Rear Defogger Switch: Description and Operation
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. An amber indicator (3) in the rear window defogger switch will illuminate to indicate when the EBL system is turned on.
When the EBL relay is activated, current is directed to the rear window defogger grid lines and when equipped, to the heated outside rear view mirrors.
The grid lines heat the window and mirror glass to help clear the surfaces of fog or frost.
An LED indicator will illuminate when the rear window defogger switch is activated. When the switch is activated, the A/C-heater control operates the
rear window defogger (EBL) relay. The EBL relay controls the current flow to the heating grid of the rear window and when equipped, the heated
outside rear view mirrors.
NOTE: The EBL system turns off automatically after ten minutes of initial operation. Each following activation cycle of the EBL system will last five
minutes.
The EBL system will initially be on for approximately ten minutes or until the rear window defogger switch or the ignition switch is turned off. After the
initial time interval has expired, if the defogger switch is turned On again during the same ignition cycle, the EBL system will automatically turn off after
about five minutes.
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
