Just had a Code Alarm 670 remote/alarm installed at a reputable shop.

I asked them to install the optional rear window defrost when I hit the remote start. They said they were unable to find the power wire in the dash that goes there.

He said if I can get a schematic to help find it, they would install for free.

Any ideas where I can find this information?

Otherwise, it's a great unit, 2 way remote, yada,yada....

 

it's the blue/orange wire leading to the defroster switch in the dash. If you search old messages, someone posted a link to the wiring diagram/manual. I don't have the rear window defrost, but just the heated side mirrors. After you remote start your truck, you press the start button one more time to active the defrost.

 

wow. rear window defroster. well aren't we fancy! . but honestly, do you really use it. i have driven pickups for over 10yrs and have never once found the need to defrost my rear window.

 

Your screen name caught my eye. Are you on the corral? Did you trade in your '97 Cobra for your truck? I did...traded my 1997 Cobra for the Screw in my sig.

 

Yep, I'm on corral.net.
Same user name, but no I didn't sell my Cobra. Tucked in the garage waiting for spring.

 

I use the rear defroster a lot. Since my garage bay houses the Cobra, the F150 sits outside in the cold PA winter.

Rear window frosts up many 'a morning.
Plus it also defrosts the mirrors as well.

 

Ok, that's cool. I thought the name looked familiar. btw, I'm T-Bone over there.
