Subject:      Defroster repair success
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8


A small thing for you van care folks , but I take joy in my successes. 



Thanks again to Bruce for the fuse diagram.


I  returned to the large defroster wire that had broken off inside the hatch Gromit.  It was found when adding theGW third brake light.


I don’t trust my wiring skills, but they have improved from the time when David Beierl taught me how to use a crimping tool, one evening in my VT kitchen after a West River Westies Campout. 


        So, I prepped the wire and put on the connector and covered with heat shrink. 
Now, the defroster works and all is back in place. 


I tested it by using my talking infrared thermometer.  The window quickly rose from 50 degrees to 60 degrees in a few minutes.  I turned off the defroster at that point. 


Another success with input from the list.


Eric
