Angry 83's rear defroster stopped working!!!

Like the title says, about a week ago my rear defroster stopped going on. At first thought that maybe just the light on the dash went out but no the defroster does nothing. It has worked flawlessly untill now. Any ideas?

Sean, check the single wire connectors in the back of the car on both sides for corrosion. Also check the soldered connections on the glass. Be sure to check your switch - I remember mine being a little hesitant to go on. I don't remember, but is there a fuse for the defroster on your car? If so, check that.
