Electrical problem: Rear wiper, R defroster, and side mirror defrosters stopped working.

What I did to cause it (I think): I had an power converter plugged into my front cigarette lighter plug and overloaded it by charging my laptop.

Both items stopped working at the same time, so I have to believe the two problems must have one solution. I have tried the fuses, 2 in cab, and 2 under hood that are labeled as R wiper or defroster.

What can I try next? I am stumped.
 






im having the same problem. the rear defroster light is sightly illuminated and when i press it it gets brighter. but no wiper and defroster
 






Fixed!!!! the wire harness that connects to the back window bends in the same place it wore two wires in half couple of butt connectors n im back in business
