Please Dont Kill Me

PLease dont kill me, but does the rear defogger have any kind of hook up to the radio? From the radio diagram I have in front of me it does. Could be wrong but ever since I changed my radio hub and tried to figure out the mess the previous owner did the the radio, my defogger isnt working.

Should not have anything to do with it.

The defroster relay is next to the power antenna relay; did you play around in that area?
