Momentary to const question: for defrost

Well, I got to the switch, and I'll be testing the wires tonight when I get home from work. Yea, that statement for #6 is confusing to me too. It says "continuity", but doesn't say what it's continuous with. I'm not sure if it gets ground or +12v. Again, I'll be testing the wires later on, but my only problem is that after I test them, I'll still be stuck Ok, here are the 3 sheets that Toyota sent me, and it's where I got the information for the previous post. Hopefully this will help somewhat...I'm not a schematic expert :-) Page 01 Page 02 Page 03 Q: What's the best nation in the world?

Well, I can try rescanning it, but I don't think it's going to come out much better. The one the guy sent me wasn't too good to begin with. Well, there's a pushbutton for the defogger, and behind it is a decent-sized black box, so I'm sure there's a bunch of stuff built into it. But the more I think about this (in theory), even if I figure out which wires to give continuity to in order to make the defogger work, won't I still need to give it a constant pulse to keep the relay energized? The alarm doesn't have a constant pulse, only momentary. If I'm going to have to wire up all of these relays and stuff, maybe this isn't worth it. What do you think??Q: What's the best nation in the world?

Thanks for the quick reply.....I'm at home on a modem (slow as crap). That would be awesome if I could just give it a momentary pulse to mimic pushing the button, and giving 2 wires continuity. But I'm still not sure which wires are the correct ones to give it to. Anywho, I did a preliminary check of the wires at the actual switch...and I used a (I know, I know) test light. I'll go try the multimeter right after I post this. Here's my findings so far (assuming the test light was showing 12v+ and ground): WITH THE IGNITION ON AND THE SWITCH OFF: Position #1: GREEN: (-) Position #2: RED / BLUE: (+) Position #3: WHITE/ BLACK: (-) Position #4: WHITE/ GREEN: (-) Position #5: EMPTY Position #6: YELLOW /GREEN: (+) WITH THE IGNITION ON AND THE SWITCH ON: Position #1: GREEN: (-) Position #2: RED / BLUE: (+) Position #3: WHITE/ BLACK: (-) Position #4: WHITE/ GREEN: (-) Position #5: EMPTY Position #6: YELLOW /GREEN: (-) WITH THE IGNITION OFF AND THE SWITCH OFF: Every position showed ground Q: What's the best nation in the world?

Thanks for your help xetmes, but I gave up finally. Someone else told me that I may have to open the switch, and solder 2 wires to the board in there. That's when I had enough. I realized I was killing myself over something that they probably wouldn't use enough to warrant this much investigation. I hooked up her horn instead :-) Thanks again.Q: What's the best nation in the world?
