when i was backing out i noticed this black plug that wasnt connected to where it should of been and plugged it back in...

what is it??

its located towards the passenger side all the way in the top liner (almost the middle but not) on the rim of the back windshield...mayb its the back defogger connection or something?
i dont know how long it has been disconnected cause i never noticed it before and havent noticed anything out of the ordinary while its been unplugged...
hopefully by plugging it in it doesnt drain my battery or sumthn dumb like that

thanx

 

that looks like the defroster wire, is it on the rear window?

 

Radio antenna.


Defogger plugs in on the sides behind the removable panels.

 

yeah its was on the rim of the liner/roof and rear window...
and its not like it fell out of something..it appears to actually belong there and the piece in connects to is built into the car so its not dangling or anything like that

@ajbent....radio antenna??the radio stations were working fine and this thing was unplugged 4 who knows how long..hehe

the pix were taken from the drivers seat and my arm under the piece and from a lil further back...those "dots" in the window are along the top section of the rear window

 

Looks like antenna

 

I know on my 89 camaro the rear defroster connector looks almost exactly like that. it has a tab and the female plug (the black square) just plugs into it to make the rear defroster work. I don't think the antenna is on the rear window is it? That must be one loooong antenna cable to reach from the radio all the way to the rear window

 

Yes, the antenna is the top portion of the rear defroster

 

well now i finaly know were my antenna is lol =P

 

Yeah I have wondered where it was as well. I remember some older cars that didn't have an outside aerial antenna had them made into the front windshield and knew our front windshield didn't have this feature but we didn't have an outside aerial either, I just never knew a auto maker would make a cord that long to go to the back window. I understand the front window thing because its allot shorter distance than even the outside antenna

 

my 4runner's antennas are on the side windows, but the CL's are the top of the defroster

 

case closed

thanx all!

 

Took my dash apart because there was a bolt that fell in there and was driving me crazy rolling around in there and there is a little square thing right in the center of the dash (it looks like a raised black piece of plastic that is square inserted in the top of the dash), that is the antenna, the thing on the rear glass is the rear defroster not the antenna

 

The antenna is on the rear glass. Willing to bet against that?

 

The antenna is on the rear glass

 

If you're talking about the little black piece of plastic between the two defogger vents under the windshield, that is the solar sensor for the climate control system.

 

Bingo, give this man a cigar.

 

You better plug that in, its for your flux capacitor

 

If I'm not mistaken. That isn't the radio antenna but the in-car phone antenna.

I had it removed when I got tint done.

 

 

Indeed. I'm an idiot sorry. Was not paying attention and only looked at the word antenna.

 

thats where it looked like my antenna was hooked to
