Hi,

Just recently replaced the whole trunk door with a "less" rusty one (let's hope POR-15 is for real).. But I noticed the defrost light doesn't illuminate anymore (almost positive that bulb is okay)- there's a clicking noise by my feet? The relay I presume, and 12V to the black spade from the demist. Demist ground is good. Maybe I'm being paranoid, but before the weather finally turns really ugly (Toronto), I'd like to be sure that it works. I checked for continuity (100%) and looked closely for little breaks (I don't think I saw any). I'm not too knowledgeable in electricity, so does this all sound good? What other sorts of electrical tests can I make or other tests?? I have a basic digital multimeter. I guess the question is: how does one test an heat element for wear?

Thanks!

Yaleh.
