rear window defrost

I have a 95 Bronco and the rear window defrost does not work.
Any info on getting it to work would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

The most common problem is it coming unplugged. If the wires get caught while the window is moving they can pull themselves loose. Take the panel off and make sure the wires are connected.

On my 95, only the bottom half of the rear defroster works...

Keyhard...thats cause you have a break in the copper path that defrosts your window. Look closely at the paths and you will find the break. You can get repair kits from your local autoparts store

Strange thing. My paths all have 11volts to them. But the defrost still does not work. I can have a dusting of snow on the rear window and it will not defrost it. I gave up trying to figure it out.

also check the under-hood relay for it. mine didn't work and i found that there wasn't a fuse in it for some weird reason, although all the voltage checked out fine and the wiring and copper was in good shape.
