2003 Alero Radio/Rear defrost electrical problem

[con416]

I only get sound out of my radio when the rear defrost is turned on, although when you run both the radio and rear defrost there is something shorting/burning smell from the rear passenger area. no smell with the rear defrost on and radio off.

Welcome to AF !!

Check this thread out, thier is a link to an old thread in the last post that will explain whats going on.
It would be the RF Module located in the rear pass side panel thats shorted and melting.
