Hi…Just the other day I noticed that the rear defroster (y’know, the rows of thin wires on the rear hatch window) in my '98 Dodge Grand Caravan did not work. The light in the button on the dashboard lit up, but the defroster did not turn on. I checked all of the fuses, and the wires to the defroster at the rear hatch, and they are all good. I did not find a relay for the rear defroster. I have not yet checked the circuit with a meter for continuity, etc…but I will try to do that soon. I’d appreciate your help.

Do check that relay. It is a good guess. ---

There’s a relay for the rear defroster, somewhere.
