there's such a thing as rear defroster repair kit. It is a stick on conductive strip....I would try that before sottering....I work at a Chevy dealership and we carry it (I know....chevy sucks, but it pays the bills)

very easy fix. scrape off some of the insulator to expsose the copper some more on the broken trace. then just get the end off of a resistor or some copper strands from some speaker wire and just solder it on there. problem solved.

it looks like that portion of the trace that burned out was not quite right when the board was etched. like it was too small and could not carry the load on it...

I had the same exact problem and I was told the best thing was to use the defog repair kit on it. Try it b4 you quit, Ive been too busy on body work to get around to it.

**** is that where it is broken where that copper leads to is a yellow wire, that yellow wire doesnt even get hooked up?????

B18EG6

is the yellow wire on a 13 pin plug?

If it is, that yellow wire delivers power

Rukusmasta2

i dont know but i know i neva had it hooked up and EVERYTHING worked and now it doesnt and that scrape goes to that yellow wire which ain even hooked up...WIERD???
