You've done a terrific job of shutting down your motor when you saw it was overheating to prevent further damage. Did you burp the coolant system when you filled it with coolant? If not the instructions are in your repair manual. You should also check your oil to see if there's coolant in it. If so the oil will appear tan and milky; if this is the case you have blown a head gasket. If neither of these things is the case I would check the following things in this order; the thermostat, the fan motor, the fan relay, the fan temperature switch, the water pump and lastly a clogged radiator or coolant line.

Where is the coolant temperature sensor mounted in a 2004 Isuzu Ascender with a v-6 engine?
If it's anything like the '05 V-6, it's located towards the front of the (driver's side) engine block. A diagram from Autozone repair guide can be found here: http://www.autozone.com/autozone/repairinfo/repairguide/repairGuideContent.jsp?pageId=0996b43f80382f1e. Gonna replace mine, along with thermostat this week. BTW, is your check engine light on, and giving you a code saying that either the coolant is low, or thermostat/coolant temperature coolant sensor is bad? Best of luck.

Rear defrost has nothing to do with the engine. Possible causes, low in coolant, faulty thermostat, air lock in the coolant system, faulty temp. switch, ( manual or electronic?) inside car. Did you replace anything? Add any antifreeze? Change any hoses?
