Well, I have finally come to the conclusion that my rear glass heater

isn't working.

at first I thought "maybe it just isn't very powerful", but now I must

admit that it doesn't do its job, much less heat the glass ;-)

here's what makes this interesting from my point of view:

the element gets power.

the element is continuous electrically.

the element has no visible damage.

the rest of the circuit checks out logically as well.

so, my question is this:

why is it that, even though it appears to work, the damn thing

doesn't get hot?

I know what sort of reply I'll get, Don Foster will say "resolder it!",

and most others will tell me to "get the little paint kit to fix the

traces".. I'm not looking for those responses, I'm looking for one man..

the man that knows these things inside and out, the man that designed

it into my wagon!.. he must have a Swedish name, of course. so,

help me out here. I don't know any Swedish names.

(and for those of you that have read my other posts)

jack is getting cold! soooo cold! he can't see out the window!
