-my old trunk rusting out hard (will be repainting it later)
- just changed to jdm itr trunk

do you ppl feed the oem wire harnesses thru the new trunk w/ a clothes hanger or something? the process is very hard and annoying...

also i would like to know if ONE defroster works?

because i have noticed my old oem usdm trunk AND the jdm trunk both have the left defroster by itself

yep

 

You might want to explain your question better. What do you mean by ONE defroster works?

 

i want to know if one defroster works because on dc trunks the left defroster is just ONE wire GROUNDED ON THE TRUNK and has a connector piece to the metal defroster clip.

this left wire is connected to nothing else.

 

I swapped my trunk a couple months back for the same reasons as you, and I did use a coat hanger to fish the wires through. It was a HUGE PITA, but worth it. I just taped the wires to the coat hanger, and eventually they came through.

As for the wiring, I don't exactly remember how I re-ran the wires, but I do know both my rear wiper, and rear defroster are still functional.

 

i dont have a 3rd brake light or a wiper w/ the new trunk now, and got it all fixed last night. relief!

i didnt test the defrosters yet but i did plug the right side back and just grounded it to some random open threaded hole available.
