I found out where it is its in the fuse box under the hood and it is fuse number 33.
should be in underhood fuse box!
under the dash
2000 Malibu has one on left dash fuse box and one on right end of dash panel.
check the fuse under gauges
The right one
In the 2001 version of the Malibu it is fuse 34 in a fuse box under the hood near the windshield. Should be the same for the 2000 model.
The 1996 Chevy Cavalier rear window defroster fuse can be found in the fuse box. The rear window defroster fuse will be in the second column, fifth from the top.
My 1999 Chevy Malibu has a fuse box under the front hood,
Its on the passenger side on the side of the dash.Pop the little cover off and I think it is number37 there is a chart on the fuse cover.
the relay is #18 in the engine compartment relay and fuse box. i own a 2001 Malibu v6
