Rear Window Defogger - Switch Removal / Switch Test

16-132prose procedure

Continuity table transcribed from the switch-test grid; the ON-row jumper/bulb symbols across terminals A–E make the exact per-pin pairing hard to read, so the continuity groupings are approximate — verify against the internal schematic (fig4).

Switch Removal

    Pull out the switch from the instrument panel, then disconnect the 6-P connector from the switch.
