That's the whole problem. If you don't know you need to take it to someone who does, or seek hands on advice from someone more experienced.



It MAY have done something...

so i should probably then just disconnect the fuse and then repair it or just pull it out and replace the glass.

I wouldn’t change the rear glass because you don’t know that it’s the rear defroster that’s causing your problem. That, and do you really believe the rear defroster, which doesn’t receive power while the car is turned off, is killing the battery and the alternator? If you want to pull some fuses, you may want to consider pulling them all. Pull the defogger, PW, fog lamps, antenna, turn signals, wiper, seat belt, rear wiper, both ABS fuses, hazards, cigarette lighter, heater, sun roof, radio, heater, headlamps, and retractor motor. Pull everything except what’s required to start and run the car. If the problem goes away, then you could put the fuses back in, one at a time, until the problem reoccurs. Under normal circumstances, none of these fused systems should kill 4 alternators. If it were me, I pay an electrician to find the culprit and correct the problem.
