Title: 1998 grand cherokee-rear demister not working and drivers heated seat too !!!
Post by: fashfd on December 05, 2010, 09:04:13 PM

Hi, recently the heated rear demister on my wifes 1998 grand cherokee orvis has stopped working..I have tried changing the fuse but it's not made any difference, also removing and cleaning the connectors too and still no joy...On a side note the button on the dash for it doesn't light up when you press it too !

Also the drivers side heated seat doesn't heat up either-there's no problem with the passenger one...is this related or just a coincidence ?

Help with sorting this greatly appreciated..thanks in advance,

Steve

The rear screen needs a new switch on the dash & the heated seat will no doubt have a broken wire in the seat pad surrounded by scorch marks on the seat  :icon_winkle:
