Hellllppp!!!! This is electonic forum, well, i have a problem 
When I need to use my rear window defrost in the am, Ill turn it on no problem right? 
Well, after like 1 or 2 min it will shut off, and wont come back on for like 5 min... I can push it all I want and it wont come on for 5 min, and this happens each time. Then i guess it resets after 5 min, then i can turn it on for 1 to 2 min again what the ****!!!!

Well the rear defroster has a heat protection circuit to keep you from burning it up thats why you cant turn it back on right away. Your gonna need to check the circuit that the rear defroster is on to check for shorts.

The rear defroster also is fed its power via a circuit breaker that's thermally tripped. A lot of people replace the c/b with a fuse and that alleviates the problem. You'll find the c/b in the fuse panel by the drivers door.
