What to Do If the Rear Window Defroster Wire is Broken?
1 Answers
If the heating wire of the car's rear windshield is broken, it cannot be repaired and must be addressed by other means. The solution for a broken rear window defroster wire is to replace the rear windshield of the vehicle. The heating device on the rear windshield uses heating resistance wires, which can be utilized during rainy or snowy weather. Below are the relevant details: 1. Function of the heating wire: The rear windshield has horizontal lines, which are the heating wires. Their main function is to defrost and defog. During rainy or snowy weather, you can activate the defrost/defog button, and the heating wires will generate heat when powered, melting the frost or fog attached to the rear windshield into water droplets that flow down or evaporate as mist, achieving the effect of defrosting and defogging. 2. Usage time: It is important to control the duration of using the rear windshield heating function. It should not be used for extended periods. Each use of the rear windshield heating should last approximately 15 minutes before being turned off. 3. Safety hazards: Although the heating function of the rear windshield can effectively defrost and defog, there are certain safety risks. If the heating wire malfunctions and causes uneven heating, it may not only affect the defrosting and defogging effect but could also lead to the rear windshield cracking in severe cases.
