Stereo & Electronics - rear defroster wont stay on

First of the rear defroster sucks. I did a search and found some simular problems but did not gt a good answer to my problem. When I first turn it on it will stay on for about 90 sec and go off. Then I have to wait about 2 min before I can get it to come back on. Once it is back on it turns off after 30 secs. It has been to a dealer and they replaced what they called a "timer". This has become a real annoyance now that I can drive the car more often. Any ideas on how to fix? Some have replaced the factory fuse with a 30 amp fuse but I am not sure this will six the problem. :bang: :(

Oh, you forgot to mention that when that happens the power seats won't work either :) try adjusting your seat next time this happens. Just replace the fuse, that should do the trick.

I have the same problem. It is just a fuse on the drivers side panel, or is it under the hood?

Shoot man I'd say you're in luck! Your current situation would warrant a nitrous application to work off that rear defroster. You're in Florida anyways. You're practically considered semi-tropical. My defroster doesn't work because I went with a Form-Tec composite rear shield.

this has been documented before. I posted the fix for my car. Go to the fuse panel at the drivers end of the dash. Pull the breaker for the defog/seats out replace with a fuse of the same amps. bye bye problem. I lived with the same problem for a long time. I never tried a different brand breaker, I think the original is Wagner. It overheats the breaker and cuts out. After it cools it works again. I have never blown a fuse since installing it in place of the breaker. defogs works like it is supposed to.
