I noticed my back wind shield defroster is not working as of yesterday and now my car won't start today. By replacing the battery will that fix both problems?

To answer your question, yes the lights worked and dashboard lit up and there was clicking when I tried to turn on the car. I had to eventually have the car towed and a new battery put in. But defrost is still not working.
