Re: 240DL Reart Defroster Not Working 200 1987

Ron --

I overlooked the obvious.... you have a wagon, and a "veteran" at that. If you're having trouble with the rear defroster (and maybe the license plate lights, or maybe the rear wiper) then you need to consider that the wiring harness going through the tailgate hinge (probably the right side) may be broken.

Is the right hinge starting to look worn? The hole egg-shaped?

I have (currently) three 245's in the family (2-'82s and an '86) and all 3 have needed to have the tailgate harnesses repaired or replaced.
