ok so i took my whole rear internal panels out to re paint them! (looks like new).. and I found the wire for the other strut that works the rear defroster!

so i'm excited now i havent had rear defrosters ever and when i hit the button... the light goes out then if I hold it I get a pretty lud clicking noise from what sounds like the passenger side dash...

maybe from the heter core? any ideas on whats wrong?

 

There is a relay panel in front of the right side dash. It contains the power antenna relay, RW defroster relay, and other components. I'm guessing you have a failing relay or connection issue there.

 

thanx vader! i was getting worried that noone could help me... in front of the right side dash? how do i get to it from underneath? or should i take apart the guage cluster where the switch sits into?

 

do ytou think this relay would also cause these other problems... sometimes my tach jump around but the actuall rpm stay normal... when i turn the fan for my defrosters on to max... it shuts off but if i turn it back a notch it comes on full!

 

If you remove teh lower dash trim panel you might be able to see the relays. I had to remove the dash panel itself to access that relay panel.

As for your other issues, you may have a power connection or ground problem feeding the controls, or a completely separate problem with the fan switch. The tach may be a connection problem again, or the tach filter failing.

 

thanx vader i'll get right on to fixing this
