Now, unfortunately it's getting cold here. Even worse I'm going to have drive the 7.

This wouldn't be so bad...if I could see out of the hatch . My defroster refuses to work, I've checked the connections to the hatch itself, but other than that haven't done a whole lot.

Any ideas?

 

Then you need to do more. The first and most obvious thing to do is check the fuse in the cabin fuse box (it's actually a resettable circuit breaker). If that's okay then grab the wiring diagrams and trace the path the power has to take until you find where it stops.

If you don't have the wiring diagrams, buy a Haynes manual or go to www.iluvmyrx7.com/2nd_gen_manuals.htm and download the Factory Service Manual (FSM) in PDF format for free.
