04 Highlander Limited side rear window defrost operation - Toyota Tundra Forums : Tundra Solutions Forum

Hello, I recently purchase a 2004 Highlander Limited that has defrost on the side rear windows as well as the back window. The back window defrost works fine but the side rear windows do not do anything. Is there a different switch to turn these on? Does anyone know if they run off of a separate relay/fuse than the rear window that is working and where this could possibly be located?

Thanks,
Tim

These are NOT defroster laminates, but are your in window antenna.

The standard models had an antenna mounted on the passenger fender. The Limited, did away with the antenna whip and uses the 'In-tenna' in the rear side window.

Thanks for the reply. Do you have a Limited and can confirm that these are not defrosters? I can see the antenna on the driver side rear window but there is also a grid that looks identical to the rear defroster grid on both side rear windows. Does anyone have a Limited that can confirm the operation of these? Thanks again!

I've got an 05 non-limited HL that has the antenna on the rear windows. Toyota calls it an "FM Diversity Antenna." It is not a defroster!!!
