As mentioned, check the fuse -- but this fuse (#A10, 40amp) is in the rear SAM relay unit (left side of trunk). There is also a noise suppresser capacitor that is in parallel with the defogger element -- if this shorts out, it will cause a short to ground of the circuit and blow that fuse. Also, check connections of the defogger element.
