Re: Rear Defrost.

I turned it on during the preliminary warm-up before the drive (about 5
minutes). The rear window defrosted, and during my trip about 25 minutes
later, I noticed the light switch was still on. I manually turned it off.
Not knowing if the heating element is still activated, but the light was. I
was driving when I turned it off, so didn't have an opportunity to feel the
glass for warmth. 

Thanx-
