Default Rear Defrost Switch Help

My rear defrost switch doesn't work. Has anyone had this problem before? Please provide a part number if possible. I'd like to fix this before it snows here in Michigan.

Thanks,

Dan

I got it!
I put a 30 amp fuse in instead of the 30 amp breaker.
I then put a DC amp meter on the line at the fuse and it shows 24 amps. I now know that the system is ok because after checking I let it go through its 10 min run time and the amps never went over 25. Yes it ran its full 10 min!!!!

The 30 amp breakers dont seem to run to good for this defroster??? It says Wagner on the breaker so I doubt if its factory so I will try a factory 30 amper one.

Meanwhile the 30 amp fuse works well and yes it does share the circuit with the electric seats.
