It could be that the connector wire broke in the rear. It happened to me.
It is possible that the rear defogger does not work on the 2001 Hyundai Accent because the vehicle has a blown fuse or damaged wiring. The defogger might also not work because the wiring is disconnected.
Had the same problem. Make sure the rear window is all the way up. This is probably a safety feature? Your wipers and rear defroster should work.
rear window defroster light keeps flashing
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 !
there is a brake in the contacts on the back window
First make sure your fuse to the rear defroster is good.Then test the wires that plug into the defrost bars on the rear glass, there are two plugs one one each side of the rear window.Take a tester and unplug the wires and test them for power, if no power you must have a bad connection from the fuse box to the back glass.If you have power and defroster still wont work you have bad defroster bars in the back glass, hope this helps you.
No... 1999 to 2001 will work only for those model years. we tried sticking a 98 into a 2001 and it fits but won't work because of the sensors
There can be several reasons a rear defroster fails even when the light on the defroster switch indicates it is on. The most likely reason is that one of the metal defroster tabs along the side of the back window has separated from the defroster. If the defroster tabs check out as still attached to the defroster then you need to do a little checking with a volt meter. The first thing to check is the voltage directly on the tabs themselves. This should be around 12-14 volts. If the voltage is zero then there is very likely a broken wire someplace between the defroster relay and the defroster. If you have 12-14 volts a the defroster tabs then there is something going on with the grid which is normally broken defroster elements, those long thin horizontal lines on the back window.
The rear windscreen defroster does not work. I have pressed the right button to defrost the windscreen when raining or cold
If the rear brakes are out of adjustment,the hand brake will not work..
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.
