Summary

This informational bulletin provide information for the technicians to repair the rear window defroster contact or tabs.

 

 


Soldering Defroster Contact Tabs

In many cases the terminal tab will still be in the connector when you examine the vehicle. For 2007-2014 Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade vehicles (with moveable glass), always replace the defroster tab (GM P/N 25916031) and the defroster electrical power connector (P/N 12034110). For all other vehicles, reconnect the original defroster tab.

 

In most applications it is preferable to create a new solder connection to reattach a separated rear defroster tab. If you take note of the steps below, it is possible to create a new solder joint that is equal to, or stronger than, the original. The generic procedure below is not very time intensive, but does include minor preparation work to create a good bonding surface. Be sure to follow each of the steps, as combined they will produce the strongest bond possible.
