Rear defrost does not come on automatically in my Insight. (2000)

Checked with multimeter at the defrost leads. Did not drive the car but started and ran it for 5 minutes.

My guess is that there was a translation error which meant to say that the defrost is on a timer that shuts off after 25 minutes.
