Test each row for continuity. Or follow the diagnostic table in the Helms. You can get it from Hondahookup.

was the rear window ever tinted? lots of times they will cut the defrost lines with the razor when cutting the tint, breaking the continuity. I'm pretty sure that only the lines they cut into wouldn't be working though, not all of them unless it was a real half-ass tit shop.

Yea it has tint on it...I figured that only the lines that were cut wouldnt work. That or all the lines are cut.

Well this sucks...I hate not bein able to see out the back!!

they do make some liquid stuff to fix broken defroster lines. I have seen it at autozone type places. It is a tiny jar and you brush it on where they cut the line.

Look closely at the tint edges and see if the lines are cut first though :thumb:

goto autozone and get the "rear window defroster fix kit" it is like $12.95 and has the little jar to fix the lines and conductive adhesive to glue the pegs back on..

if your unlucky like me and ALL i mean ALL the lines are gone from the window, then your fucked
