1) Checking wire damage
a. Turn main switch ON.
b. Turn defogger switch ON.
c. Use a voltmeter to check voltage at the center of each heat
wire, as shown.

If measured voltage is 10 V, wire must be damaged between
broken
its center and positive end. If voltage is zero, wire must be
wire
damaged between its center and ground.
