to answer my own thread..... the defroster and side view mirrors are controlled by the defroster switch on the dash.... the dash indicator was working... i checked owners manual and ckt 29 is a resettable breaker for the rear and mirror defroster....to acess the breaker, the bottom trim under the steering wheel must be removed, easy task in the summer, bit of a job at night in freezing weather.(should have been located in engine compartment)...anyway a toothpick will reset breaker to get both mirror and rear window defroster back online... hope his helps...
