Using a test light, connect clip to one of the leads of the grid and probe the other. If it lights, the grid is open. If it doesn't, there is a power or ground open going to the grid. If it doesn't, clip to a good ground and check each wire at the grid. If the light lights, the ground circuit is open. If it doesn't, the power circuit is open. If power is open, check appropriate fuses, etc.

Rear defogger not working fuse is ok but switch does not light up on a 1993 caprice

Check operation of the control relay for the rear defogger.
Check all wiring/cable connections on the demister circuit for integrity.
(The demister draws a heavy current, which can cause fatigue/overheating of spade type connections).
