My 2000 Accent ( 3-door hatch) is developing quite the personality. Any assistance with the following problem would be greatly appreciated. Here is what happens. - The rear defrost is not working. The button on the dash board works in that when I push it, the imbedded indicator light comes on and I can hear the relay engaging, but there is no action with defog on the rear window. What does happen is that the brake light in the rear window comes on with normal illumination. Push it again and the light/relay/defog indicator light goes off. - When I press on the brakes the indicator light in the defog button on the dashboard comes on though I don't hear the relay. The rear corner brake lights come on fine and the rear window brake light comes on but very very dimly as well the lights for the rear license plate goes off. When I take my foot of the break then the brake lights go off and the plate lights come back on. Something like this happened about a year and a half ago while the car was under warranty and I took it in. The tech said that there was a short that he found and fixed, but I failed to ask him specifically where it was ( I didn't think it would happen again). I've checked the wires at the back and they appear to be in good shape. The connections also appear to be clean. Thanks. J.
