I have a 2003 4Dr EX and when I turn on the rear defogger, i get static over the radio stations. I do not get any static when i am listening to cd's or my ipod.

Any suggestions of where to look?

article on page 2....

Likely a damaged defogger.

Thanks for the quick reply, I looked at the attachment: may 01.pdf but there was nothing on page 2 for the defogger or static.

am i looking in the right place?

I checked my rear defogger the last time used it, and 2 of the wire rows take a lot longer to defog the window then rest of them. Could this be part of my issue with the radio static?

Princess could you please look for the correct file explaining this?:

dunno:

Opps! I hit May instead of March!! Sorry!

You need to check for ANY flaws in the grid. Flaws will cause the static!

Princess, thank you for the article. For repair info, it referenced the "Defogger Repair Kit" article in the May '95 edition of the Honda Service News. Any idea of where i can track this down?

It's basically a copper paint. I think you could find it at most parts stores. It's important to mask it off.... or the lines will be too fat or sloppy!
