Ok, so My rear wiper hasnt worked for a long time now, and sometimes during spirited driving it would go psycho and flip around, smacking the window and such so I decided to take it off, After doing so i was just gonna clip the wiring harness thing at the shock, but after closer inspection It appears to me that the defroster lines in the hatch glass somehow share a common ground or something, So basically my question is, Will my rear defroster work without the wiper plugged in, or do I have to rig the wires up somehow, If so, a little help on how. Thanks.

Don't the wiper wires plug into connectors on the C pillar? You can just pull those connectors.

The defrost grid goes to the curly wires up by the top edge.

 

I don't know, never tried... I know that sometimes my ground is bad and that both my defog and rear wiper don't work... I have no idea what will happen if you disconnect the wiper motor.

 

Well, on my hatch glass there is also a little tab connector to a near the shock, it has a wire that goes into the harness that plugged into the wiper motor, the way I see it, they share a ground but the easiest way to connect it was inside the wiper box thing....but now..no wiper box, so Im just wondering if the defroster is gonna be affected. I might be missing something here, but when i look at it it just doesnt look right to cut all the wires.

 

on it won't be affected at all

 

did only some fb come with the rear wiper or was it a gsl/se/gsl-se, thing my 82 doesnt have one and i have noticed some cars have some and others havent but havent looked to see what year or model they are

 

There was one on my GS parts car I had. It was an 85.
