Another possibility - If your convertible top disable switch failed closed for some reason, car thinks you have a hardtop installed. Then I think neither the soft top or the rear window defrost would work.

Dude you awesome. I had a clutch done and they had to disconnect the switches. I just checked and they plugged it in backwards. THANK YOU VERY VERY VERY MUCH.

Mine stop working after I put the centre console back and when i lifted out again i saw a wire that was exposed that may have cause a short. I checked fuses but they are good the one thing i know is i am not getting any power in the female connecting to the switch. I start the car make sure the hand brake is up and hand brake light indicator on check each wire and not getting any sign of power. I checked the wiring for defroster and hazard and i got power from those two. Everything works in the car.
Can someone tell me what should i be checking and where

Take the center console out again and inspect the connector for the toggle up/down switch. Pull it out and check for bent terminals. Under the passenger side dashboard is the control unit. Disconnect both connectors and inspect. If all is ok, re-seat all 3 connectors.
