02 Civic Rear Defrost issue
 

Yesterday, I noticed my rear defrost for my rear window on my 02 Civic isn't working. It was pissing rain on Friday and the water didn't evaporate and all I could see at night was this blurry blotch of car lights when I glance at mirror.

My rear defrost button lights up when I press on it. I felt the connectors on both sides when I got home, it was a little warm, so I believe voltage is running through (But I won't know until I get my buddy to check it with a multimeter tomorrow).

I can't seem to figure out what is wrong, anyone have any similar issues or insight to this? Thanks in advance!

Check the fuse

fuse, voltage at the connectors, breaks in the defrost lines, ground

I actually think I remember seeing a thread about the same issue on a 7th gen before and the cause was a bad ground connection, try searching for an answer here: civicforums.com.

Thanks people. I'll take a look into it more tomorrow and post back.
