   Rear defroster.

   My rear defroster repair that i did over a year ago needs to be repaired   
   again.  The last several times I have used it, I keep smelling burnt plastic.    
   The wire is drawing too much power, melting the wire shielding and the   
   connector.     
      
   Somehow, the silver epoxy must have started to contact my radio's antenna   
   (which is also in the rear window).  That seems to be what is causing the   
   excessive draw all of a sudden.     
      
   I'll be repairing that at some point, soon.  Probably won't have a chance   
   until Christmas week since I will be off work.  Need to clean up the silver   
   epoxy connection and might have to re-do the entire thing.
