Rear defroster,,,,, problem with rear defroster? Options

[bigdmo13]

Hey I tried the spray painting the climate control mod, and have everything back together, everything is working excpet i'm not sure if my rear defroster is working... when i push it, it just comes back out and the light is off, as in it isn't turning on... when i hold it down the light stays on.... I can't remember if this car if the defroster is suppose to stay on until u shut it off or if it has a temperature sensor, and that is why it isn't staying on. It is very hot here. The other thing is when i push it there is a clicking sound coming from somewhere else in the dash, it may have been there b4 and i just didn't notice it... I'm not sure... any help would be much appreciated!!!!... I have a 96 Celica St

UPDATE: I took apart the switch for the rear defroster and it didn't look like there was anything preventing it from latching or that it latched in the first place... I think it might have just been a toggle switch... Does anyone know if by chance there is a wire that went to the stock stereo taht may have had something to do with the rear defroster? I just installed my own stereo and had 4 wires that i'm not sure what they did that aren't connected...
