Normal Operation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Milan, 2006 Lincoln Zephyr, and 2006 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The heated backlight relay, which is integral to the smart junction box (SJB), receives power from circuit SBB06 (BN/RD). When the rear window defrost switch is pressed on the electronic automatic temperature control (EATC) or electronic manual temperature control module (EMTC) control unit, a message is sent to the SJB through circuit CHI22 (WH/OG). Once the SJB receives the message to turn on the rear window defrost, the SJB grounds the heated backlight relay coil, which sends power through the antenna module to the rear window defrost grid through circuit CLS38 (VT/WH).
