I had this problem last winter. It come from thr defroster switch
getting too hot from being left in the on position too long. The switch
has a small bearing inside and when the plastic becomes hot it will
distort and the ball will not move and contact the copper plate
completeing the circuit. In any case you can try to rebuild the switch
by removing it and taking it apart. This worked for me for awhile till
the switch became too warped to hold the ball in place and i had to
replace it. Hope this helps.
