defroster malfunction? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Hey guys,

I just bought an 07 yaris and I was wondering if anyone had any issues getting their defroster to work?

Or I just don't have the settings right?

Any ideas?

front or rear? there's a cable driven blendoor for the front. if the ball on the end came off you wont be able to switch the door. or, if you broke the knob but then you wouldnt be able to switch it at all.

the rear is electric. so check fuses, relays and wires/connections. or, check to see if someone scratched the grid on the glass. feel each line individually for a break. like maybe someone removed the tint on the rear glass with a razor blade and nicked the wires.
