did you check the plugs on the rear window to see if they are plugged in? Middle of the window both left and right side.

Yup, also check to make sure none of the thin copper wires on the window itself are broken. Just look for breaks in the lines.

Take an ohm meter and check the grid on each side of the glass and then work you way in on each side to see if you are getting current through the complete grid.

Turn it on and unplug the wires on the back window and see if you have power there, if not then check the switch itself and see if its working right.
