Default 93 EX rear window defrost problem (already searched)

I just tried searching this problem and seeing if I could figure it out on my own, but no luck. The topics I found don't really cover what's wrong.

So basically, it's getting colder here in Washington as summer ends, and my rear window defrost on my 93 EX coupe doesn't work, so I can't see out the rear window at night. I push the switch on the dash, and I don't get the little orange light showing it being on.

Now this dash and all of the controls were swapped from a 95 Si, so I don't know if that would make any difference in helping to troubleshoot but I figure it's worth mentioning.

Where should I start looking, and what steps should I start taking to find out what the problem is and repair it?

Which fuse is it, and where would I locate it? I'm still super new to the Honda stuff and don't know where I would look. I think I know where the fuse box is, but I'm not 100% sure and don't know which fuse I would check.

Ok, so I found all of the fuses I needed and went and replaced a bunch of fuses in both compartments on the car, under dash and under hood.

The rear defroster still doesn't work. What would my next step be in troubleshooting to find out what the problem with it is?

Correction, I fixed it! I just need to fix the switch so the light comes on and off for it.
