(tried other switch too). Rear mirrors defrost seems to work (are they tied together?), but no power at the rear defroster. Any ideas? Thanks!   J E Robison Service Co (Robisonservice) Member Username: Robisonservice Post Number: 119 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Monday, December 29, 2003 - 09:19 pm:    On older Rovers the power to the defogger grid passes through a radio antenna amp in the headliner. Check that. The most common issue is breakage of the wires from the defogger into the body, often inside the black plastic C pieces that carry the wire from glass into roof lining   RPG (Rpg) New Member Username: Rpg Post Number: 7 Registered: 09-2003 Posted on Tuesday, December 30, 2003 - 02:07 pm:    Thanks for the info. Seems the relay(?) in the radio antenna amp was messed up (would never turn on the power to the defroster). Bypassed it (the amp/relay), and everything seems fine. Radio's reception is OK too.... so I guess it's fixed Raagi   Nick M (Nick5o) Member Username: Nick5o Post Number: 49 Registered: 03-2003 Posted on Tuesday, February 03, 2004 - 01:36 pm:    Where in the headliner is the relay? Do I need to take out the whole thing?
