I'm attempting to assist the installation of a rear window with heating element. I have traced the lead to install a switch to control the heat defroster relay however cannot locate where the wire to the defroster exists the harness from the relay board. Anyone know where I can locate it? Also how/where was the wiring run to the rear window.

As i remember it, the rear window defroster has it's own separate wiring harness and 2 prong connector that plugs into the relay board. I think the wires of the harness are green and brown or green and white....

The wiring diagram that I have shows a lead (no. 7) from the relay board, going into the wiring harness, and ultimately to rear window defroster. The lead is there (green), I just don't know where it exits the harness.

The leads are adjacent to the inside light leads under the backpad

Yes behind the back pad like he said...

powered by the other fuse on the relay panel.

Has anyone powered the rear defroster on a conversion with the relay board removed?

I guess you can add your own separate relay and a lead to power?

Any idea on the current draw?

The scoop on the rear window defroster is in all my years driving a 914 in Minnesota it was never needed...
