Re: My Rear Window Defroster does not work
What can you do with a volt meter OR test light to check your rear defogger?

Overall Power Test: The first thing you need to find out is whether your defroster grid is geting power at all. Sometimes old wiring or a blown fuse can cause a complete disconnect. To test this, you can use either the defroster test lamp or an automotive circuit tester. Disconnect both wires from the either side of the defroster grid. Touch or clip one end of your tester to each of these wires - if the light comes on, you have power. If it doesn't, you should check your fuse and replace a bad or questionable fuse if you're not sure. *Note: Be sure you have the rear defroster switch on and the key turned to the ON position when you test.
