Default Re-connect/Fix Rear Window Defrost
Small problem with rear window defroster (96, 318ti).

Fuse is okay, getting power, button to turn rear defroster on at center console OK, no shorts in the wiring,

...just that the wire (3 female pinned termination/connector) isn't connected to anything....

The solder points attached to the window are in tact.

See pics below.

http://www.markkuarimo.com/IMG_0364.JPG

pics 0363, is the left side and 0364 the right side, I have no idea what those are.

Looks like there might be something missing entirely...there is no male end to plug in the female end showen 0360.

I have a block diagram for the entire circuit from start to finnish just it's not connected and can't see where it should connect to...

Any help is much appreciated.

Three pins connector is FM antenna.
pics 0363, is the left side and 0364 the right side = defogger.

Thank you, this helps. Appreciate it.

However, still to show you what I'm dealing with below all remaining wires from the harness are either female or don't fit.

Main thing there are no male 3 pin connectors available from the harness... so I was wondering if there is an adapter (missing) that joins two female 3 pin connectors together?




Above those two identical connectors in my hand have black and brown wires respectively and they could perhaps be stuffed into the left (0363.jpg) and right (0364.jpg) side defoggers.




That still leaves the FM antenna unplugged.

What colours of wires do the last two connectors have.

all North American market ti's had the external antenna on the quarter panel, Euro-spec had it built into the rear window so that's why the diagram is different, everything else should be the same
