Rear defogger connector
Hi
I found out my rear defogger is not working, but the switch is(light goes on)
Since the window was tinted by the previous owner I think they forgot to connect the defogger.
i searched the manual but can't find where the connector is or should be. My guess is bottom right seen from the back of the car but I couldn't see anything yesterday
Hope to get some tips
Many thanks

Took off the c-pillar covers and found the connectors on the left side.
Power is getting there, but the defogger still doesn't seem to be working.
On the window I found 3 connectors, 2 of which appear to be for the ground and 12volt, but there's a third connector, about 15cm above the package tray..
Anyone know if that should be connected?

As I couldn't find the answer and found it out yesterday..
They are on the left side of the window hidden behind the c-pillar cover.
On my 1996 there were 3 tabs and the previous idiot owner connected the top two. However as the top one is just a loop back to itself nothing happens. I am guessing it's an antenna of some kind.
The lower 2 tabs had continuity and resistance and figuring it could cost me 15A fuse at max I decided to connect it.
Made my defogger work again.
