What fuse controls dashboard lights

You can see fuse, correct. With rear defogger turned on, use test light, see if any voltage at fuse or if fuse is blown? Also, check continuity on defogger grid, if no continuity, there is a break in the grid. If you can find the break, hopefully your local auto store has continuity paint that you can paint over the break to restore continuity.

front or rear.?
my guess, wild is, the rear electric defogger, is dead.
the test is so easy.
attach any voltmeter to the 2 grid terminal. and turn the defroster on.
12v there? yes, then the grid is open.
no> the relay that feeds it is bad. (or its controls or FUSE is blown)
check all fuse first.

CHECK HEATER AND AC ALSO DEFOGGER ON A 10 AMP IGNITION FUSE. FOR AUTO HEADLIGHTS CHECK AUTO MATIC LAMP CONTROL RELAY CHECK DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS RELAY.

Replace your speed control switch.

Went under the hood and checked the relay switches, the one for the heat was not under there so it appears to be in the dashboard

Hi that fuse should be a 25 amp and it runs the blower, heater, the day time running lamps, automatic light control and the rear defogger you would have to check each unit at a time what I would do is put a hire fuse and look for smoke on the wiring as soon as iI see whats burning I take the fuse off but you have to be quick and pull out the fuse before any thing burns if not check each unit mention and look for good luck.

Hope this helps...;-)

There are 3 fuses that control the rear defogger, and 1 relay

The fuses are: 10 amp HEATER, 10 amp MIRROR-HEATER; under the dash
The 30 amp DEF fuse is in the fuse box under the hood
The relay is the DEFOGGER relay, which is on the back side of the fuse panel under the dash

Also, check for a loose wire on the defroster grid (on the back glass), this is the most common problem.
