ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

    Rear defrost problem 1992 ex coupe

    Hello, im hoping someone can point me in the right direction with this one...

    Car - 1993 SE coupe

    Problem -

    The rear Defrost switch keeps blowing the #8 fuse in the underside dash fusebox, its the 7.5A "heater control relay/rear defroster relay" fuse

    The fuse works fine when the actual defrost switch is unplugged, all the AC controls work, everything works etc, thats how i have it at the moment, unplugged, so i have no defrost. As soon as i plug the defrost switch in ( even if the switch is not depressed ) the fuse blows instantly, which then results in no HVAC/no defrost

    So far i have unplugged the wires/terminals on the rear window itself trying to isolate the problem to the window perhaps, but the fuse still continues to blow once the switch is plugged in. I have tried replacing the actual defrost switch, replacing the #8 fuse under the dash , and also replacing the 40A rear defrost relay under the hood , but the problem still continues.

    Could it have something to do with the Bose wiring for the stereo ? i am not sure what to do next, all the wires running to the defrost switch ( as far as i can see into the dash ) seem to be in good condition

    All other electronics work on the car without any issues . Is there something i have missed? its getting colder and more icy where i live so living without a defrost is starting to become a problem

    any insight would be really appreciated! thanks
