Default s2 heated rear screen problem

basiclly my heated rear screen don't work in my s2. You can press the buttom which lights up and goes out afterwards but it does not clear any lines at all.

is there a way to test for power at the back?

I'm not to sure how to check it on my car.

cheers folks

if the light comes on you will have power...your screen will be fooked...try a continuity test on the glass via both terminals..chances are the glass is the original and just "broke" like other car parts

Pretty confident it will be broken wires between the body and the tailgate.
