no you put wires on it.. you can buy a female receptacle for it that has wires on it already... just make sure you install it correctly and run the wires to where they need to go.

Alright. I just bought a wiring kit that comes with everything I needed. Got one more question. Do I supply positive connections to both connectors on the back glass or do I supply one ground and one positive?

no idea, you have to tell us what you've purchased...

If it is a Dodge Brand Kit then I doubt you'll have to supply it, but if it is a joe schmoe kit then yes you will prolly need to supply 12V+ to it.

The kit I purchased came from oreilly auto. It came with the switch, relay, and all the wires I needed to connect it all. It is set up just like the picture that was provided to me on the previous page. Just wired it all up. Down to the last step, the rear glass. Need to know about the two connectors now.

well the picture they gave you should have said where to connect them to the connectors on the glass... after that it should work without a problem as long as you connected the relay to everything correctly.

The picture is the same on the wiring kit as it was on the picture that was posted on the last page. All I need to know is wether they are both positive connections, or if one is positive and one negative.

Well my rear glass refused to fog over last night at work. Had enough on it to test the bottom two line of the defroster. Seemed to be working. Won't know if it is completely working until it fogs over.

Want to say thank you to all those that helped me with this problem. Hopefully one day I will be able to return the favor to someone else.
