Brake Lights and Defroster???
Here is a good one for everyone. Lately as I have been driving, I have noticed that everytime I step on the brakes, the rear defroster goes on. I can hear the relay click and then the light goes on. I can turn it off and it will go on again as soon as I step on the brakes. If I have the car off and step on the brakes, the defroster light just stays on as long as my foot is on the brakes.
What is wrong and what should I check?
Thanks for your time.

Ahhh the very question that brought me to thirdgen three years ago!!
(it's in the FAQ, and it's a common problem)
Welcome!
Q: Why does my rear defroster come on when I hit the brake pedal?
A: It's probably a loose defroster wire on the hatch. Check the connectors on both sides of the rear hatch glass to make sure they're properly connected.
