Heated Glass Element: Description and Operation

NOTE: The radio antenna is integral to and is serviced with the back window glass as an assembly.

The heated back window consists of:
- a single layer of silver print making up the grid lines and bus bars baked on the inside surface of the back window glass. The difference in color as viewed from the inside and outside is caused by the chemistry of the paint, the glass and the atmosphere in the tempering furnace.
- system wiring which includes heated back window ground wire and heated back window feed wiring.

Power for the back window glass defroster grids, the heated outside rear view mirror and the heated back window switch indicator is supplied from the heated back window relay which is controlled by the lighting control module.
