Front or rear defroster?

I'd check the interm relay for the wipers. Test the relay and then inputs.

I'd like to hear answers about the rear defroster as well, since mine is not working. Mine actually has water condensation on the window, so I hope it's not the heater core!

condensation inside the car usually represents moisture inside the car, would check leaks around the doors and see if the floors are wet

For the rear, you'll need to be sure there is not a break in the "grid". It also has a relay.......I'm assuming you checked all of the fuses, correct?

Don't know the history here...was it working and then one day stopped......or was working and "I cleaned the window" and it stopped....or has not worked since I've owned the car for "x".
