My daily driver Syncro front heater shuts off sometimes but if I turn the
switch to off then on again it restarts.  I was going to fix the problem but
my wife beat me to it.  My Christmas present from her was a `2010 Honda
Element EX AWD complete with personalized license plates.  Anyone need a
slightly beat up `87 Sunroof Syncro?  It will be up for sale as soon as I
clean it out and finish a few minor projects.
