The light on the rear defogger may not turn off due to a malfunction in the defogger switch, a faulty relay, or a problem with the electrical system. It could also be a result of the defogger being stuck in the "on" position, possibly due to a short circuit. Additionally, if there’s an issue with the vehicle's control module, it may fail to recognize that the defogger should be turned off. If the problem persists, it's advisable to consult a mechanic for proper diagnosis.

Bill is about 400 bucks, mostly labor, but he earned it.

Do check for power at the grid and make sure that the connections are clean. Many times these things are just dirty connections.


Where is the rear window defogger switch located on a 1976 corvette?

Not sure about the '76, but the rear window defogger switch on my 1970 Coupe is located at about seat level on the left side of the center console (tunnel) cover. It is about 6" to 7" off the floor and just under the dashboard.


Why would the rear defogger switch stay on for a 1996 Buick century?

As most vehicle defogger controls operate in a similar manner, and as I'm not familiar with your make and model, this answer will be generic in nature. Rear defoggers generally draw a fairly large amount of current, and therefore that current does not pass through the cabin control switch. That switch controls a special type of relay [a time delay relay]. When you press the switch to turn the defogger on, an electrical pulse is sent to the time delay relay which closes, passing electrical current to the defogger grid. Within the relay is a timing circuit which, after a finite period of time, is supposed to release, and open the relay switch contacts, turning off the current to the defogger. From your question, I suspect that your defogger relay has FAILED IN THE ON POSITION. Usually, this failure is fatal to the relay, which must be replaced. I have a Buick Century wagon 1996, and I ran into this problem. Have you noticed if the defogger switch lights up when you hit the brake? If so, you have a bad connection somewhere. The center brake light is on the same circuit as the defogger, so you may notice that the center brake light does not light up when you hit the brake. So if this is what's happenning to you, you either have a burned out center brake light, or the defogger terminals in the rear window aren't making a good clean connection. They are located on either side of the window near the top. What I did to fix this was to solder a small piece of metal to the terminal that was not connecting and it was thick enough to make the connection. So the center brake light works, and the defogger now works exactly as it should. Hope this helps.

What would make the Rear window defogger not work on a 97 when both fuses are good?

I can't tell you the exact name of the part. I believe that if you take the back panel off inside next to the rear window where the defogger connects, you will find that the part is burnt. It will be on the passenger rear. Do not confuse it with the antenna. I went to a salvage yard and got one from a used Lesabre.
