if you have the owners manual check there and see if it tells you which fuse that is hooked up to. Does the button light up when you puch it for the defroster?

also if the light comes on it most likly is not a fuse get a test liht and unplug one of the hotplugs that go into the window see if there is power to thos if so it is prob in the window.

the light might still light up even if the fuse is bad, they may use a different sorce for power between the window and the LED on the dash. im not sure the chances of that though. Def. buy the owners manual though it will save you alot of time rather than waiting for one of us to find it.

i would say its probably bad wiring. either going to the back or the window itself. Like get435 said, get a etst light and check the wiring.
