Few stupid questions...

[Ramitiner]

Now, what are those tabs sticking out by my rear seats? Do they somehow fold down?

 

[RAM DRVR]

Nice! Thank you... Transfer case lever? Where would that be?

No transfer case lever. Its electric shift.........

The owners manual is your friend.

Far as I know, the rear defrost is thin wires that heat the glass. Don't have on my 16, yet the window stays clear. I do have the rear sliding window. Rarely use it.

Thin wires embedded in the glass..........

ANYTHING ON THOSE STRAPS BEHIND THE REAR SEATS?

If you're referring to the vinyl handles pointing up from behind the seat, I believe that's for kids car seat. To hook the strap when the seat faces fwd. That's my best guess as the seat doesn't normaly fold down.

its on the top though

 

[KansasArt]

Yeah, didn't phrase that well. They are towards the top of the seat. Behind the head rest.

I have a regular cab express with the manual rear window. When my truck is in defrost I can definitely hear air moving behind me, presumably over the rear window. Being a regular cab, it's right behind me so it's pretty noticeable.

The nylon tethers behind the rear seats are for child seats. Page 57 in the 2017 owners manual.

I would look in the Owner's Manual to see what cavity the rear defroster fuse (should be a 30 Amp Pink) is located in the Power Distribution Center (a.k.a. fuse box) and then check under the hood to see if you have one.....if so, then you have rear defrost. In my 2016 RAM 1500 Bighorn the rear defroster fuse is located in cavity F36. It's probably the only way to know for sure.....

I don't have the defrost wires going across the window bro

My truck has rear defrost and I can't see the wires either. I'm not sure if they just have the wires running around the outside "non-visible" part of the glass or exactly how it works. Either way, my truck came with the 30 amp fuse in the rear defrost section of the fuse box and it works somehow. My rear defrost button is on the Uconnect 8.4 touchscreen and also on the dash panel faceplate.

That's what I thought but another guy on here stated thats for the side mirrors defrost

 

[Flip-er]

the pull taps behind the rear seat head rests are for child safety seats, I have them and mine don't fold down

Thats right, that button turns on the mirror heaters. If you have a rear defroster option, it will also turn them on. Your build/option sheet should list it and you should see thin wires in the rear window, if you have it.

That may be the air moving up over the windshield, across the roof, and down the rear window, which one wouldn't notice in a longer cab or regular car.
