Hardtop on 99 C2 cab rear defogger

[goldgun]

Hey guys

just put a hardtop on my 99 C2 Cab,i was told there are no wires for the rear defogger and that the contacts were built in the 2 rear bolts that hold the top,i do have the button on the dash and it does light up when i put it on but it doesnt seem like the defogger is working,any ideas

Thanks

Do you know how to use a multitester? (circuit tester?) Check whether there's current reaching the defroster grid.

Model & year of your car please.

I think somebody is taking you for a ride.

My C4 2001 cab, Hardtop has a wire with a plug connector on the end,

(which you, well yes you guessed it,) connect when you install the top.

And this powers/controls the defrost function in the glass.

Maybe the wire's where damaged when the top was once removed,

in the cars manuel they say not to forget to disconnect the plug before removing the top as to not damage the wire/plug.

I believe the connection is in the drivers side hole on the back. I know I've broken mine, and now the wires are just hanging in there, but I haven't gotten around to investigating how to fix it yet.

Perhaps this will help...
