My rear isn't working and I traced the problem to what I believe to be the component within the instrument panel. Must the entire instrument panel be replaced or can the component within be repaired?

when I press the switch button the light comes on in the switch. But no power is supplied to the defroster grid.
Check whether there is any current passing through your grid. Often there are (almost) invisible cracks in those lines. Pay special attention to the contacs. There may be bad contact between the metal and the grid lines. You can fix all this using a kind of liquid contact silver (don't know what's it called correctly, comes in small bottles) - you can buy this stuff in electronic shops. Good luck. Andreas
I may not have been clear, but I said, No power is supplied to the defroster grid.
Ooops, I'm sorry, I read too quickly. Did you exchange the switch as suggested before?
No not yet. Thanks
