Subject:rear window defogger wire path?
From:Richard A. Jones
Date:Thu, 2 Aug 2001 16:52:00 -0600

I'm finally checking out the rear hatch goodies on my '87 syncro
Westy that I bought 5 months ago....

The rear wiper motor is burned up.  That's why it didn't
work.  ;-)

More concerning is the wire to the rear window defogger.
It comes from the hatch and (in my case) is hanging out of a
hole of the body near the hatch hinge (driver's side) where the
ground wire also comes out and is screwed into the body.
There wire hanging out is about 2 feet with a connector at
the end.

Bentley lists connector T1a, "single, near left rear roof bow."
I can't locate the other end or the wire path that I'm looking
for.  Can anyone tell me the wire path from the front to
the rear and where the other half of the conneector is?
This is a Westy with factory air....

Thanks,
