Rear Defroster (top half not working)?

2005 Honda Civic Rear Defroster top half not working.

So this morning I noticed the top half of the rear defroster is not working. There is a terminal right by the headliner right up center top. The terminal looks just like the one on the left and right of the rear window.

Anyways its not working and the terminal seems in perfect condition and I see no breaks in the defrost metal that is (i believe painted on the rear window)


Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Thx

Re: Rear Defroster (top half not working)?

The top third of the rear windshield is the radio attena. The defroster is only about 2/3 of the bottom of the rear windshield. If only half of the bottom 2/3 is not working then half of your defroster is not working. Are you referring to half the windshield or half of the defroster circuit (bottom 2/3)?

I keep hearing that this is an antenna.
