Rear defrost inoperative

How many pins is that connector? You can replace the whole thing if you want to keep it clean. I wonder how it melted like that.

You can look up the connector here and then use the part number to find it online. http://www.acdelcotechconnect.com/pi/wiring-connectors/

From reading. That's a common issue
Go figure

Yeah it's a little disturbing to see that kind of damage under a flammable deck cover. I'm just going to splice in a good piece of wire, it's hidden away so as long as it works (better than before lol) I'm good with it.

I was told it's how gm plans to keep selling cars, if they burn them all down around 150k miles people will think "well it was high milage" lol

Strangest "common" issue I've ever heard of. Good thing you caught it before it transformed into a Ferrari

Lol I did read about one "Ferrari conversion" where the whole rear drivers side corner burnt up but luckily they were at a stoplight with no passengers.

Fixed, spliced in a piece of 12ga wire (factory was 14) all is well now.

Awesome. I don't know what I'd do without my rear defrost.
