Default Rear Window Defroster Stopped Working
I have a 2012 JK Sahara Unlimited. Last week the rear window defroster stopped working. The light does not turn on at all when you depress the knob for the rear defroster. I tried changing the fuse, but that did not solve the issue. I have seen people having issues where the light goes on initially then turns off, but mine is not turning on at all. Could I need to replace the climate control panel with the knobs?

Came here to say the same thing, one of mine did. Quick solder job and it's back to functioning as it should.
