What would cause the third brake light and rear window defogger to not work and the defogger switch light to come on when the brakes are applied?
Sounds like you have an issue with a leaking vacuum line. Without knowing the type of vehicle, I'd say that there's a good chance that your power brakes are vacuum assisted. When you apply the brakes, you may be using up what vacuum you are still able to produce in spite of the leak. When you have a vacuum leak, it usually causes other problems, such as rough or otherwise difficult idle. It might be worth inspecting what you can to make sure everything is in place, with no lines cracked from age, or melted by laying against the exhaust manifold or exhaust piping, or, once I saw where battery acid had eaten through a vacuum line ran under the battery box. , Good luck. :-)

Where is the heated mirror switch on a early Subaru Forester?
The heated mirrors on my 1999 Subaru Forester are controlled by the rear window defogger switch which is located in the dashboard console above the heater controls and to the right of the hazard flasher switch. I'm not sure whether the heated mirrors were optional on the early Foresters or not. Anyway, the heated mirrors (and the rear window defogger) will stay on for about 15 minutes when you press the switch. You can turn them off before then if everything has defogged already. Also, the switch only works with the ignition on.
