Rear window defroster trouble ?

2005 Excursion.....

When the switch is pushed, the relay clicks. The light on the switch does NOT come on.

I have switched relays for testing. The fuse is good.

The truck has heated mirrors. Are they related to the rear glass issue?

Bought this in June. No winter use yet.

Is a freezing temperature required for operation?

All help is appreciated.......

The defrost button operates both the rear glass and the heated mirrors.

No, it's just not working.
Heated mirrors are not related.
