Rear defroster and rear wiper.

Asked by Michael Dec 19, 2018 at 07:43 AM about the 2015 Cadillac SRX Performance AWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

2015 Cadillac srx. When i turn on my rear defroster,
the rear cargo light on the tail gate door turns on
and rear defroster does not work. Also when i try to
use the rear wiper (rear defroster off) the same
light turns on and wiper moves slowly and the light
gets brighter and weaker with wiper movements.
When rear defroster is on and the light turns on,
the rear wiper will not work.
Can this be a ground issue?

1 Answer

I am thinking it might be a bad ground or rust/corrosion on the positive cable that supplies power to the rear fuse box.
