Replace a worn or failed rear window defogger control with the Standard Ignition switch DS-2193. This rear window defogger (defroster) switch is a direct-fit replacement for the 2005-2006 Ford Escape and 2005-2006 Mercury Mariner. It is the control used to turn the heated rear-glass grid on and off. See the Buyer's Guide tab for full application details.
Signs this switch may need replacing include a rear defogger that won't switch on, works only some of the time, or doesn't respond when the switch is operated. A blown fuse, a faulty relay, a wiring fault or a damaged grid can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the circuit before replacing the switch.
