New rear defroster issue!
I have a 2012 with the rear window defroster. So far my back window is still intact and not broken, but the defroster won't turn on. ( yes i know it is summer!) I tried it about a week ago to burn off the morning dew from rearview mirrors, just for fun, about 30 seconds, then turned it off. Tried same trick this morning, and no go. The amber indicator light does not light up. I just checked the 40 amp fuse and its relay and both are fine and seated properly snug in engine bay fuse/relay box. I am sure i will have to take it to the dealer, but wondered if anyone else had this issue yet with rear glass and outside mirror defroster. Thanks.

When I first got my truck the rear defroster would work intermittently, staying on for a few minutes then not coming back on. Eventually it quit working all together (no exploding window). Dealer diagnoses found that my rear defroster failed and I received a new sliding window under warranty. I noticed that this window looks different from the original one so there is an updated replacement.
