Help with rear window defroster
I've never had to use it, but I had to today for the first time and nothing. I've checked both fuse boxes and all fuses are okay. The wires are properly connected to the rear window. The light comes on when I press the button on the dash...but that's all. Not sure if this means anything, but when I first press the button I hear a click after a second or two. Same when I press it to turn it off. 
It's a convertible, so not sure where to look next.

Bill, I have a Vert too, and haven't had your prob yet, But would bet the indicator light and the click tells me that the low amp side of the relay IS functioning, but the LOAD contacts aren't completing the circuit. Find the relay, abuse it some (drill a small hole in the housing and hose it out with Tuner Cleaner) and it may come back.

Okay, so where might I locate the relay? :o
