I have a 2009 Journey SXT. Recently out rear window defroster stopped working. It was in the body shop last winter and the took the gate off to weld on the rear quarter panel, but it worked for the ready of last winter. The indicator light comes on when it is turned on. I don’t seem to have any voltage on the terminals at the window. The tape looks to have about .6 ohms terminal to terminal. I don’t see a fuse listed in the book for it. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

 

I just checked and when the rear defrost switch is turned on there is power to and through the fuse for the mirror heaters. Does anyone know if this is the same fuse for the rear window?

 

Check the wiring harness that goes from the body to the lift gate. Known issue with the wiring breaking over time due to constant bending when opening/closing the liftgate.

 

Thank you, I will look into it tonight after work.
