Help with my Rear Defrost

[ama4ace]

I have a 05 Eddie Bauer Explorer with the Heated Mirrors and for the past few weeks when I push the button to turn on the Rear Defrost it "Lights Up" momentarily, to indicate it is activated, then immediately turns off. I am aware the Power Mirrors run on the same circuit and they don't seem to work either. The fuses are good and I believe if the fuse was bad it wouldn't light up for the second or so it does. Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated!

The Defrost Relay is in the Central Junction Box. I suspect it is bad and needs replaced. You should be able to temporarily swap with another relay there or in the Battery Junction Box, to confirm it is the problem.

Hey Thanks for the suggestion. I just have to wait till the weather warms up being that I have to remove the bottom dash panel under the steering column. I removed it once before to change the relay for the blinkers to stop the "Hyper Blinking" after installing the LED's so I know it will take a few minutes to do. A few minutes feel like hours in 17 degree weather.
