rear defrost doesnt work

I have a honda civic 2001, and my rear defogger doesn t work.
The light on the switch is on, all the fuses are good, and the relay seems to be working.
I ve unpluged both terminals on the rear window and checked with a meter and there is no power going there.
I tried to follow those wires but I dont really feel like ripping everything out to find if one of the wire is cut.
can the switch be the problem? is there anything else I can do?

thx in advance

Check the connections at the black box mounted under rear deck on drivers side. The wiring for the grid runs through it and someone recently had a connector loose causing similar.
