OK so I got a 50.7x Clifford and got everything installed and working with the exception of the defog wire. This wire is a 200ma wire that I have wired directly into the switch on the dash that should go thru the factory relay per the wiring diagram in the shop manual thus eliminating the need for another relay. Am I incorrect that I am not needing another relay? I have remote started the car and verified no power to the back window with the defog turned on via the alarm. I then hit the switch on the dash and verified power to the rear widow.

Either I am needing a relay or something else is going on. Using the blue / YELLOW wire at the switch. This isn't my first alarm install however its the first with a defog option.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks again,

James

How does the blue / YELLOW test? 12 Volts then drops when defrost button is pressed then returns to 12 volts?

When all else fails, Read the Instructions

I have not tried that as of yet. Here is the Diagram of the defrost circuit of my specific car.

Test the BLK/YEL with a DMM for voltage. Keeping the red lead on the BLK/YEL press the defrost button and take notice as to what the DMM indicates on voltage. Ignition on of course.

Ignition on. Voltage reads 13.5 volts when switch is pressed and obviously 0v when switch is off.

Ignition on. voltage is 13.5. Keeping the DMM on that wire, press the defrost switch. Does the voltage change?

Sorry assumed you mentioned blue / YELLOW wire til I reread the post. Blk/yel wire reads 14v with switch on or off.

Blue/yel wire was the one that reads 0v off and 13.5 when on. Blk/yel reads hot in either situation.

Does the voltage on the BLK/YEL wire momentarly drop from the 13.5 volts when you press the defrost switch, and the return to 13.5 volts?
