make sure you rear window is rolled all the way up, otherwise the defroster wont work. to test this, roll it all the way up and try to use the rear wiper. if it works, then there is something wrong with the defroster circuit, if it doesnt, then there is something wrong with the cutout switch in the rear door.
as for the mirrors, didnt know they ever came with heated mirrors.

The rear defroster and mirror heaters are on seperate fuses, both in the fuse box under the hood. The are both controlled by the DEFOG relay, and also by the same switch. Like seanz0rz said make sure the window is up all the way. If it is and the wiper works then it could be the relay. The PWR OUTLET relay is exactly the same as the DEFOG relay so maybe try swapping them and see if that helps.
