Now there's a coincidence... the rear window defroster on my 2000 wagon works - just not very well. You say there's a TSB related to that? I think it's time to do a little research.
I'll be interested to see what this thread turns up.
Check your Defroster for a good ground and 12 VDC when switch is on.
Check your Defroster lines for little tiny scratches, as if someone might have accidently scratched one or more of the lines trying to remove a sticker or just cleaning the inside of the window.
TSB 03-15-1 Tells you how to fix scratches which are less than 1" in length. Text is too long to type but here is the Warranty Paragraph
Grid line repairs which are covered under warranty can be identified by one inoperative grid line and will indicate a small discoloration at the area of concern approx. the size of a pin-head. Scratches that cross more than one grid line are not warrantable.
Good Luck

Thanks Dan, at least I know not to go to the dealer and ask about the TSB. The entire thing doesn't work, so it could be a power or ground issue. Maybe this is an excuse to buy myself a multimeter.....
