Rear Defogger Relay - Description

DESCRIPTION





The rear window defogger (EBL) relay (1) is an International Standards Organization (ISO)-type relay. Relays conforming to the ISO specifications have common physical dimensions, current capacities, terminal functions and patterns (2). The EBL relay is a electromechanical device that switches battery current through a fuse in the power distribution center (PDC) to the rear window defogger grid and to the outside mirror heating grids. The EBL relay is energized when the relay coil is provided a ground path by the rear window defogger relay control in the front control module (FCM).

The EBL relay is located in the junction block (JB) in the passenger compartment.
