Default Gc8 heated rear screen

Hi guys. I have just had my rear arches repaired on my 96 wrx and noticed that the heated rear screen no longer works. The light comes on on the dash but nothing happens on the window. Does anyone know where the plugs would be at the rear window to check if it just needs connecting?
Thanks

Power is connected to the right hand side of the rear screen.
The left hand side is earthed to the parcel shelf, I believe.

Reason I asked was I wondered if they might have melted the wires when welding as it can get very hot. Ideally they should remove interior out of rear if welding specially on inner arches.
