Default 01 civic rear defroster not working

I have a 2001 civic ex coupe and a problem I have been facing is the rear window defroster does not work. The switch seems to be good (lights up when pressed) the connections in the back are good I don't know what it is and with it getting cold now I definitely need it. Any help would be appreciated.

Check the #14 (7.5A) fuse in the Driver's Under-Dash Fuse/Relay Box under the driver's side dash.
If your power mirrors don't work, this is a dead giveaway that fuse is blown as on same circuit.
Check the rear window defroster relay in the Under-Hood Fuse/Relay Box. Location is relay E at the bottom of this link: https://troubleshootmyvehicle.com/ho...-hood-fuse-box
Otherwise, you will have to check for a short, break or poor ground in the circuit. Also could be a bad switch too.
