Not an answer to your question but I walked Orr side and my same window was shattered. I'm thinking it's a falty.
On the back of the mirror, there is a small heating element. The element heat the mirror the same as the defroster on a rear window.
Check to make sure your rear window is not down a little bit. I could not get the rear w/s wiper or the rear window defroster to work until I lowered the rear window and then closed it again. Problem solved. Hope it works for you, too !
NO it will not bolt up to the transmission in the 2000 model.
Is the rear blower functioning? If so the AC system may be undercharged. I would first suggest checking that the system is properly charged, if it is then there may be a blockage of some type in one of the lines.
there is a brake in the contacts on the back window
If the rear window is not fully closed the rear wiper will not operate.
rear window defroster light keeps flashing
The rear window de fogger is simply an electric heater. It heats up the glass and water vapor evaporates off.
On my 98 Tahoe I had both of my rear light boards (thing the bulbs go into) go out at the same time. Easy replacement. Might check them the cost was only 24.95 (parts).
mine dosnt work
The rear side window in a 1998 Toyota Avalon can jam if there is a problem in the window motors or the switches. A faulty switch may not complete the circuit needed to operate the window.
no, different designs.
