i've got a 93 and the rear defroster barely works even just on fog and the one in the rear side window doesn't work at all... any ideas?

If I remember tommorow I will look in one of the toyota manuals at work and get more information on it. My rear defrost wasn't working so I looked in the manual troubleshooting guide and it had a list of possibilitys. Mine ended up being that I had no fuse in for it ( I think I thaught it was a spare at one time ) :pat:

The "lines" in the side windows is the anteannas.

If your rear defrost is not working, most likely you have a loose wire in the tailgate. Pull the rear cover off the tailgate, remove the metal plate behind that, and peal back the plastic vapor barrier on the drivers side. You will most likely find 1 of the 2 wires that attach to the lower drivers side of the galss are broken. Repair the connection and you will be frost free!
