2000 Cherokee Rear Defroster
My rear isn't working and I traced the problem to what I believe to be
the component within the instrument panel. Must the entire instrument panel be replaced or can the component within be repaired?

But no > power is supplied to the defroster grid. Check whether there is any current passing through your grid. Often there are (almost) invisible cracks in those lines. Pay special attention to the contacs. There may be bad contact between the metal and the grid lines. You can fix all this using a kind of liquid contact silver (don't know what's it called correctly, comes in small bottles) - you can buy this stuff in electronic shops. Good luck. Andreas
