Which lines work?
If all the top ones work and the bottom don't or vice versa, then that makes a difference over every other one.
Check the glass and see if ther eare any lines that are cut or not connected anywhere.

then your lucky, I have only 3 or 4 that do work. just old and beat. you will have to either replace the rear window with a new defroster in it, or scrape off the old defroster and replace with a universal fit one from jc whitney.

The defroster "lines" have a tendency to stop working after a while. My old car I had the same problem as jps4jeep and it was really annoying. So I scraped off my old "lines" and replaced it with a universal system from autozone. Now I don't remember how much this kit cost, but it was really simple to put on the glass and it worked with my current wiring. It took me about 2 hours to scrap and clean and then about 25 minutes to put the new ones on. It was just like putting on decals.

Here is the link from JC Whitney. If I remember right, I paid more than that at Autozone.
