But there is also brown wire and a black wire on either side of the defroster that are still there. I'm not reading a voltage on either of those. I would think that all the defroster needs is a positive and negative wire and the current runs across those. This wire seems to be separate from the whole defroster.

I think my defroster isn't working because of a wire in the dash. Someone stole the stereo from the previous owner of my car and they snipped all the wires that go to the 3-button defroster, a/c, and circulate thing. Both the a/c and the circulate features work fine but the defroster doesn't. I think I may have screwed up on one of the wires for the defroster and that is why it doesn't work.
