Defrost Switch Wiring Well, I am attempting to wire up a defrost switch in a car that did not originally have it (1987 Camaro SC). I have the switch and all the wires connectors. My problem is that I am not sure if I need some kind of relay that will turn the defrost off when it gets to hot (which I believe all cars do). I am also having problems figuring out where to wire it to the fuse box. Any thoughts on this are much appreciated. Thanks |
Re: Defrost Switch Wiring The timer is built into the switch itself. Your car should have a secondary junction box near the fuse box that the defrost power wire will plug into. If it doesn't, you can run it from the fusebox, there should be an empty socket in the corner that would normally feed that junction box.. The plug on the defrost power wire should tell you the story of where to tap into (assuming you didn't just snip it out of your doner). |

Re: Defrost Switch Wiring From what I know, the switch, like he said, has a timer and doesn't need a relay but I could be wrong. I've not seen a relay for the defroster on my car. I was just pointing it out in case you missed it.:thumbsup: |

I have one large purple wire that I hooked up to the wire that runs to the back which left a large orange with black stripe wire that I am guessing is the power wire and on thin pink wire. What do these wires go to? Thanks again |
