Rear Window Defogger Power Supply Circuit Check

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Nissan Murano. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK FUSE 
    • Check 10A fuse (No. 12, located in the fuse block [J/B])
    • Check 20A fuse (No. 77, located in the IPDM E/R)
    • Check 20A fuse (No. 78, located in the IPDM E/R)
    NOTE: Refer to COMPONENT PARTS AND HARNESS CONNECTOR LOCATION .

    OK or NG

    1. OK : GO TO 2.
    2. NG : If fuse is blown, be sure to eliminate cause of malfunction before installing new fuse, refer to POWER DISTRIBUTION .
  2. CHECK POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect rear window defogger relay.
    3. Turn ignition switch ON.
    4. Check voltage between rear window defogger relay connector and ground.
