Default Rear Window Defrost Grid has no power-Help

I have checked the fuses, and the relay on the passenger kick panel. I can feel the relay click when I flip the switch. Also, the heated side mirrors work when I flip the switch. I just dont seem to be getting any power to the rear grid. I checked the contacts with my multi meter and there is no voltage to the grid. Any ideas?

Thanks,

You need to check the wire harness between the tailgate and body sometimes the wires will break and cause it not to work

pieced together on my iPhone using all the extra parts from my cherokee...
