Bimmer Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 And forget about em and burn the entire circuit out when you drive all summer long with em on :lol: Theres most likely a relay for a reason. If this were such a danger, then the stealership wouldn't happily reset them to stay on forever... and there IS an indicator light on the button on the dash.  Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bimmer Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 No, skipping the relay means the deicers would still turn off with the ignition, because there's no power to the deicers without the ignition on... In fact, depending on the design of the button, the deicers would probably reset to "off" when the ignition was turned off. Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STILL if you left them on all summer, it can not be good for the circuit. Even if its only when driving. Any kind of heating element takes a decent amount of current.

Deer Killer Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 You should only need to leave it on in rare weather condition in rare places on the planet. Otherwise you're doing something else wrong, or your HVAC is messed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
