WINDSHIELD DEICER SYSTEM Windshield Deicer does not Operate

DESCRIPTION

By operating the deicer switch while the power switch is on (IG), the windshield deicer can be activated. For vehicles with the navigation system, the operation signals are sent to the air conditioning amplifier assembly via CAN communication. For vehicles without the navigation system, the operation signals are sent directly from the front wiper deicer switch to the air conditioning amplifier assembly. The windshield deicer system is controlled by the air conditioning amplifier assembly. On receiving a deicer switch on signal, the air conditioning amplifier assembly turns on the DEICER relay for 15 minutes. If the air conditioning amplifier assembly receives a deicer switch off signal while the DEICER relay is on, it turns off the relay.
