jonbfish Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 (edited) I'm doing a full rear hatch wiring harness replacement Got everything apart and swapped out the wires but when I got to the far end I can't seem to get the last connector off that is for the rear defroster. I can't tell if you are supposed to pull up on the tab or push down but neither seems to be working. It moves around on it slightly so I don't think it's welded to it or anything. Trying not to put too much pressure on it so I don't separate it from the grid. Anybody have any tricks? The defroster worked before the repair. 2007 Outback Wagon Basic Edited November 13, 2023 by jonbfish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmdew Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Always good to to the yard and try it on a car there. Most of them have a little press to release tab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonbfish Posted November 13, 2023 Author Share Posted November 13, 2023 Well I tried again in the daylight to press the tab but ended up breaking it off. Does this need to be soldered back together or would one of those repair kits with some conductive glue work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmdew Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 I've had good luck with the repair kits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never done that before, think my XT6 rear defrost might be weak. XT6 got the low miles, rust free impreza/EJ hubs you sent me years ago.
