240 wagon rear defroster won't shut off! 200 1989

Sounds like a hot wire is leaking into the defroster circuit. Check all aplicable wiring through the harness and see if you can locate a section where a bunch of wires have frayed and are contacting each other. Baring that wiring problem, it would probably be more involved than that - I would simply disable the defroster from the dash switch (unplug it) to prevent battery drain and overheating.
