    DEFOGGER - REAR WINDOW

    1991 Mitsubishi Montero

    1991 ACCESSORIES & SAFETY EQUIPMENT


    Chrysler Corp./Eagle/Mitsubishi Defoggers - Rear Window

    Dodge; Colt, Colt Vista, Colt 200, Stealth


    Eagle; Summit
    Mitsubishi: Eclipse, Galant, Mirage, Montero, 3000GT
    Plymouth; Colt, Colt Vista, Colt 200

    DESCRIPTION & OPERATION


    The rear window defogger is a heating wire grid bonded to the
    inside of the window. Heat is regulated by a control switch located on
    the instrument panel.

    TROUBLE SHOOTING

    DEFOGGER DOES NOT WORK


    Check for blown fuse, poor contact, defective defogger
    switch, poor connection or open wire.

    INDICATOR LIGHT DOES NOT WORK


    Check for burned out bulb, open wire or poor connection.

    TESTING
    NOTE: Testing information for all components on all vehicles is
    not available from manufacturer.

    DEFOGGER SWITCH TEST


    NOTE: Remove window defogger switch and disconnect switch
    connector for the following test.

    Colt, Colt 200, Mirage & Summit


    Turn defogger switch to OFF position. Check switch continuity
    using ohmmeter. Continuity should be present between terminals No. 3
    and 6. See Fig. 1. Turn defogger switch to ON position. Continuity
    should be present between terminals No. 1 and 5, 2 and 4, and 3 and 6.

    Colt Vista
    Turn defogger switch to OFF position. Check switch continuity
    using ohmmeter. Continuity should be present between terminals No. 3
    and 6, and terminals No. 4 and 1. See Fig. 1. Turn defogger switch to
    ON position. Continuity should exist between terminals No. 5 and 2, 3
    and 6, and 4 and 1.

    Eclipse
    Turn defogger switch to OFF position. Check switch continuity
    using ohmmeter. Continuity should be present between terminals No. 1
    and 5, and terminals No. 2 and 6. Turn defogger switch to ON position.
    Continuity should be present between terminals No. 3 and 4, 1 and 5,
    and 2 and 6. See Fig. 1.

    Galant
    Turn defogger switch to OFF position. Check switch continuity
    using ohmmeter. Continuity should be present between terminals No. 1
    and 4, and terminals No. 5 and 6. Turn defogger switch to ON position.
    Continuity should exist between terminals No. 3 and 2, 5 and 6, and 1
    and 4. See Fig. 1.

    Montero
    Turn defogger switch to OFF position. Check switch continuity
    using ohmmeter. Continuity should be present between terminals No. 5
    and 6, and terminals No. 1 and 2. Turn defogger switch to ON position.
    Continuity should exist between terminals No. 3 and 4, 5 and 6, and 1
    and 2. See Fig. 1.

    Stealth & 3000GT


    Remove defogger switch assembly from instrument cluster
    bezel. With defogger switch in OFF position, check switch continuity
    using ohmmeter. Continuity should exist between terminals No. 3 and 4.
    With defogger switch in ON position, continuity should exist between
    terminals No. 1 and 2, 1 and 6, and 3 and 4. See Fig. 1.

    DEFOGGER RELAY TEST


    Colt, Colt 200, Mirage & Summit
    Remove defogger relay located to the right of fuse block.
    Ground relay terminal No. 4, and apply battery voltage to terminal No.
    2. Check relay continuity using ohmmeter. Continuity should exist
    between terminals No. 1 and 3. With voltage disconnected, continuity
    should not be present between terminals No. 1 and 3. Ensure continuity
    is present between terminals No. 2 and 4. See Fig. 2.

    Colt Vista, Eclipse, Stealth & 3000GT


    Remove defogger relay located on left center of firewall.
    Ground relay terminal No. 4, and apply battery voltage to relay
    terminal No. 3. Check relay continuity using ohmmeter. Ensure
    continuity exists between terminals No. 1 and 2. With voltage
    disconnected, continuity should not exist between terminals No. 1 and
    2. Continuity should exist between terminals No. 3 and 4. See Fig. 2.

    Galant
    Remove defogger relay located in right front corner of engine
    compartment. Ground relay terminal No. 1, and apply battery voltage to
    terminal No. 3. Check relay continuity using ohmmeter. Continuity
    should exist between terminals No. 4 and 5. See Fig. 2. With voltage
    disconnected, continuity should not exist between terminals No. 4 and
    5. Ensure continuity exists between terminals No. 1 and 3. See Fig. 2.

    DEFOGGER TIMER TEST


    Colt, Colt 200, Mirage & Summit
    Remove defogger timer from junction block under left side of
    instrument panel. Connect a battery and test light to defogger timer
    terminals. See Fig. 3. Apply battery voltage to terminal No. 7 for 5-7
    seconds. Ensure test light illuminates for approximately 10 seconds.
    Reapply battery voltage to terminal No. 7. Test light should go off
    when voltage is applied again.

    Colt Vista
    With ignition switch in ON position, apply battery voltage to
    terminal No. 2 of defogger timer. Timer should operate for
    approximately 11 seconds then stop. See Fig. 3.

    Eclipse & Galant


    Remove defogger timer from interior relay block. Connect
    battery voltage and test light to timer. See Fig. 3. Ensure test light
    illuminates for approximately 11 seconds when battery voltage is
    applied to terminal No. 4. Reapply battery voltage to terminal No. 4
    and observe test light. Test light should go off.

    GRID TEST
    1) Start engine and operate at 2000 RPM. Ensure battery is
    fully charged. Turn defogger switch to ON position. Using a voltmeter,
    check voltage at center section of each grid wire. If voltage is
    approximately 6 volts, grid wire is okay. If voltage is approximately
    12 volts, an open is present in the negative circuit. Move probe
    slowly toward the negative terminal to determine location of open
    circuit.
    2) If voltage is zero volt, an open is present in the
    positive circuit. Move probe slowly toward the positive terminal to
    determine location of open circuit.

    Section.
