Do you hear the relay on? I would take a volt meter and hit the button and see what kinda reading your getting and go from that

Check your relay in the fuse box under the hood, I had mine melt down twice already here are some pics of it currently.

Better make sure it fits tight or you will have a fire!

Could be a blown fuse or a bad realay or a loose connection as with the pics above.

Might wanna check the wires on your rear window as well, mine broke off at some point.

just out of curiosity, is your rear window tinted?

ya it came on the car tinted?

well the wire looks fine and the fuse is good?wtf

mcphatty

did your rear defroster ever work? its possible that whoever tinted it may have scratched one of the main lines for the defroster, causing the whole thing not to work

If the control is saying its on and the fuse/relay is good. Then you could take a volt meter and put the leads on each side of the rear glass defroster lines (be careful not to scratch the lines). This will tell you you have power to the defroster and the problem maybe a broken line in the glass. If you dont get readings then its something between the relay and the rear window causing the problem.
