Directly touching the rear window defroster filament with the lead of the tester could damage it. Wrap aluminum foil around the end of the lead and inspect the filament by touching it with the aluminum foil.

4. Gradually slide the positive lead from the positive side to the negative side and verify that the voltage decreases accordingly.
