Hey all, I just replaced the tape player in my 2001 Taurus SE, (dial type controls) and now the rear defost doesn't work. I had the installer try another face plate kit and the same thing. We've been all over this electrical system, and everything 'seems' in order, all fuses are good.

Is there a brand of face plate kits that are notorious for this???

when this happens, its a grounding issue.....there aare 3 wires comming from the button, one of em is ground for the button and indicator. have them cut it and ground it to the metal support right behind the radio. This should fix the problem.
