question about rear defrost

[ottis]

What would cause the drivers side rear defrost not to works. I dont see wires going to the door. Any advice?

Check the contactors on the top corner for dirt and/or corrosion. Had same problem before and they worked after I cleaned them up.

if that does not work replace them as sets.

I have a small section that doesn't work even after I cleaned them so I guess I will replace the contacts next.

If a small section is not working, more than likely, the trace is broken on the glass. You can grab a defroster grid repair kit at local auto parts store. Much cheaper than new glass. This may help-

Are there any broken lines? Such as, is all but one line working?

Yes, Permatex, which is a brand carried at about every parts store has this. Send me a PM and I'll try to get you the part number tomorrow.

It's about 3 lines together. Didn't know if there were "zones" on the grid. I don't see any breaks tho.

no zone just lots of lines to cover the whole window.
