Checked the fuses?
Light does come on so prob. not a fuse
Could be a lose connection on the button, also check the connection of the heater treads on the window.

You need to see if the heating wire is getting any voltage. Do you have a multi meter?

It could be a fuse. The switch powers a relay and doesnt actually supply the power to the screen. The switch/relay could work but the fuse for the power source may have blown.

Yep. Check fuses then after that the next bet is the relay in the fuse box - they do go.
