Location of fuse for defrost

There should be a fuse in the interior fuse panel for the rear window defroster, but the windshield defrost is a mechanical connection from the heater controller. If your heater works out of the vents and the floor position, but not diverting air to the defroster you most likely have an issue with either the cable or the diverter door itself.

Front window defroster note working

Was there a smell along with it fogging up the window like antifreeze? If it did the heater core is leaking and needs to be replaced. It will be kind of a sweet smell.

Heater Fan Quit working without warning no smoke no blown fuse.

Oh no, say it isn't so. I'm in the middle of the same task on my 85 model. I just got my parts from IPD, which I hope is not the source of your parts. I would start with the fuses and check for a blown one. Make sure you check closely as they can have fine cracks that can get missed.

Any chance you have a loose wire? - with all that have to come out for the repair it's possible you lost a groundwire connection.

Write back as I will have questions of my own on how you got yours put back together.
