1A IHKA: Relay, heated rear window

Would someone please let me know where I could find this relay. Does this code mean that the relay is bad.
Thanks,

Have no clue what that code means...but the facelift rear defrost/heated window relay is the 2nd from the left when you open/remove the rear right cargo cover. Look for the relays above the rear fuses...I believe it is light green.

BTW, by not giving a back story or some details/info why you're asking this question...you may miss out on some suggestions or recommendations etc especially if done recognizes a similar situation that has been resolved. The way you've posted a single simple question...the only thing the forum can respond to is the location of the relay...but not what yo do. And the code given without any details is vague and again...not much to go on in regards to expounding on anything. So most will not offer up a couple of paragraphs of discourse only for it not to be valid or even close to whatever your issue may be.

Good luck with whatever is going on.

Thanks for the guidance.
The defroster works but it's very weak. It melts the ice after a long time and only partially. I did an All Scan and this was one of the codes it detects. I'm assuming that it means the relay not functioning properly. It can't be totally defunct because it does deliver some power to the defroster.
Hope this explains the issue I have.
Would you say that if I replaced the relay the defroster would work fully.
Thanks

Again, I don't know if replacing it will fix the issue...but i do know that sometimes pulling the relay out and pushing it back in can sometimes be like a "smack-in-the face" for a relay and bring it back to its senses.

For example, at one point the upper tailgate's soft close feature was acting up...I pulled the relay and pushed it back in...and it started working correctly (aka "smack-in-the-face" approach).
