Rear Wiper, Rear Defroster, and Heated Mirror Problem - SOLVED

In the end, this wasn't even an actual problem, but it might happen to some of you, so I'll post about it.

The Problem

The rear wiper, washer, defroster, and the heated mirrors quit working.

The Diagnosis

At first I assumed it was a blown fuse. I checked them all out, and they were all good.

I was just about to call the stealership and setup an appointment, but I thought I'd take one last look around the cab.

For whatever reason, I hit the button that rolls down the back window, and then rolled it back up again.

Turns out that the back window wasn't up enough to seat tightly. It also wasn't down enough to cause any wind noise.

I must have accidentally bumped the button and put the window down a fraction of an inch, and this disabled all of those functions.

It makes sense that the rear wiper, washer, and defroster didn't work, but it's funny that the side mirrors didn't heat. The mirrors were still able to move electronically.

 

Yup, I've done it...
