Well it's built into the rear glass so maybe pop off the rear pillar covers and see if any of the connectors are loose. It's on the driver's side if I remember correctly.

They may be a problem with the defrost grid and or rear glass. Was this by any chance a problem after a window tint installation?

I hadn't had to run the rear defroster since I bought my '04 TL until just last week, and guess what I noticed? Yep, radio static on the FM station I was listening to when the defroster was turned on. Add me to the list of people with this issue.
