I've had this problem several times...something in the rear hatch stops working, right? (defroster, wiper/washer, license plate lights, etc.). I've found that the best quick fix is to remove the hinges one at a time (I think there's two bolts and a srew...very easy to locate and remove) without fully taking the rear hatch off and just soldering the existing wires. Of course, this is only a temporary fix. Replacing the wires requires complete removal of both hinges as well as the rear washer hose (don't forget to unhook the wiring harnesses from inside the car located just before the wires reach the hinges) so as you can remove the rear tailgate. At this point, with hinges removed you may now unhook and remove all wiring harnesses. The tricky part is feeding the new wiring harnesses down the sides of the window of the tailgate. I used my antenna...it worked, but it took a long time. Reassemble everything. BTW, if you find a way to re-attach the rear washer hose when reinstalling the tailgate, please let me know.
