I need hatch wiring help please

[big_ty2003]

When I bought my car it had a different hatch on it and some of the wires from the cars wiring aren't connected to anything on the hatch. I know one wire (Black with blue stripe) is the rear defrost but I don't see where it connects to anything on the hatch. The hatch has the defroster lines on the glass so there must be somewhere this wire connects.

Also, there is a single light blue wire with a green stripe, any ideas what this is for?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

the light blue i believe is for the hatch wiper moter...

I'll see if I can take a picture of mine later.

Well, was going to check my Haynes, but there's nothing in the wiring diagrams except for between the fuses and the wiper + defroster switch.

I know, I think I might have to pull the wiper motor out so I can see back there, what a pain in the neck.

The hatch may have come off of a car that doesnt have the same wiring as your car. Some hatches werent wire for some options. Some have rear wiper , cargo light latch, and rear window defrost wiring, other dont. What year is your car ? Does the color of the hatch match the car ?

my car is an L and the Hatch is a GL with a wiper. Its got the defroster lines on the glass so I guess i was assuming it had defrost.

The hatch might have defrost. The car may not be wired for it. Mine was an L, and I'm not sure it had any wires other than for the mid level brake.

I dont understand, you have wire coming from the L body going to the GL hatch but there is no where to hook them up ? That doesnt seem right. If the hatch glass has defrost then there should be a black wire coming from the drivers side of the rear glass, that connects to the blue/blach wire in the hatch. See pics below.

Its got the wire and the switch for it just the wire is dangling not connected to anything in the hatch and I can't physically see where it would connect to. I think I might borrow the wifes little makeup mirror and take a flashlight and see if I can spy anything up in there before I take the wiper motor out.

my L has rear defrost and it had tilt steering wheel (til i broke the key) to and it is all orginal

[big_ty2003]

Well from looking at the pics I guess I don't have defrost after all on the hatch. So I have a GL hatch with a wiper but no defrost, strange. I think what I thought were defrost lines were actually the lamination where they cut It and over lapped it. I'm retarted. Thanks for all your help though.

That would explain the missing wire. On to the next project.
