Rear window defroster. | Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 298 enthusiast | OP enthusiast Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 298 | OK, this is my Grand Marquis, not my van. The piece where the rear window defroster plugs into the electrical system has broken off on one end. It looks like it was soldered but it could have been some adhesive. I will post pics later when there is more light. Just wondering if anyone has fixed one of these before. Finally got back. What a day. Here's what I was talking about.
