How do you troubleshoot a 1983 Dodge ignition?

What is celinoid?

The starter solenoid receives a large electric current from the car battery and a small electric current from the ignition switch. When the ignition switch is turned on, a small electric current is sent to the starter solenoid. This causes the starter solenoid to close a pair of heavy contacts, thus relaying a large electric current to the starter motor, which in turn sets the engine in motion.

The defroster is drawing more electrical current than the alternator can produce.
