My rear defroster wire is old and brittle leaving some exposed wire. I want to replace the the exposed coily wire with new coily wire. Does anyone know where to get the correct wiring? Its for the power supply to the middle rear hatch. I found these for 18$ but im not sure if theres a better ebay or amazon seller.
Ok someone had told me this is the defroster or antenna wire? Theres 2 one on the passenger side of the rear window and one on the middle. So ones for the defroster and ones for the antenna?
The middle coil wire is the antenna, the wire that comes from the strut is your defroster power.
Great thanks man do you know if its just standard 16-18 gauge wire or is there a special wiring that antenna uses? This place sells rear defroster wire coily like the antenna wire for 18$ do you think it will still work or is antenna wire special. The wires are about the same style. It looks like standard exposed copper coil wire if you ask me and this place that sells rear defroster coiled wire for 18$ should work the same?
I'm thinking that the antenna wire is a shielded coax and it has a certain impedance. So just replacing it with a straight wire might not be such a good idea. If it's just a piece of wire go ahead and replace it.
