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

The clicking you are hearing is the relay in the drivers kickpanel. That means your switch IS working just not latching on. I don't recall any of the wires in the stereo harness being tied to the climate controls. You may want to try a junkyard for the switch chances are toyota is gonna rape you for it.
