996 C2 window defroster not working ! Help ?

Hi there.
Just noticed that the rear window defroster is not working on my 996 C2.
The strange thing is that the dash light is on but no defrosting.
Any ideas what might be wrong ?
Br. Dadi.

If you have a multimeter, you can trace out the faulty area, does your light come on? Did you check the fuse? Any visible breaks in the heating elements?

Ignore the fact that this video is basically an ad for Fluke multimeters and use the same testing methods...
