Default My defroster doesn't work!

I have MY02 and lately my switch stopped working.
I checked the fuse under the hood (the 20w one), and it looks good.
I pulled it out and made sure the connections were good.
And I checked the window to make sure it was plugged in and for any wire breaks.

any idea? do i need a new switch? how can i check this out?

have you actually confirmed the defroster does not work? bulb in the switch could be dead but switch could be functional.

As far as fuses "looking good" that doesnt mean much. Did you switch it out with another 20A fuse? try that.

Defroster should be on the dash not like the ap2's.
