Is Canadian model front wiper de-icer wiring built into a US Accord?

Hey guys,


Anyone been able to figure out if the wiring is already in your accord to support the front wipers de-icer as on the Canadian market models?

I have found the part number for the switch in the left knee instrument panel cluster, but don't want to waste the $ if the rest of it isn't in the car.....

I don't think the wiring is there.
I'd bet the plug is different as well based on the switch next to it. :sad:

Is the windshield different also? My Ridgeline has wiring embedded in the windshield that de-ices the wiper blades. I don't think US Accord windshields have the embedded heating elements.

EDIT:
Windshield Part #'s
US - 73111-TVA-A31
CAN - 73111-TVA-C31

Canadian models have heated windshields (Page 202 Owner's Manual). On my phone now and can't post a screenshot of that page.

I believe the OP realizes that the Canadian Accords have a heated windshield. He's asking if the wiring is there to convert the US models, and if buying the switch will do the trick.

The answer is probably not because:

  1. The windshield is different; and
  2. The wiring behind the switch location is not there.

We're saying the same thing :smile:

I was saying that because of the difference in the windshields would lead me to believe that there is some wiring (or something internal/integrated) in that windshield to produce the heat. Even if the wiring was there w/o that windshield I doubt the results the OP is trying to achieve are obtainable.

OK, Got 'Ya.

Hi ?
Did you succeed to install heated windshield?
I’m looking for parts diagrams for Canadian build with heated windshield. Want to find harness, and buttons.
thanks
