Rear Defroster: fffuuuuuuu My rear defroster will cut on but it doesn't stay on long enough to melt the frost on the hatch glass. Sometimes it doesn't even stay on for a full minute. It won't let me cut it back on for a while after it turns off either. This isn't so bad right now, but as it gets colder I am really going to need it to work right. Any ideas why it cuts off early? Thanks.

Ok, so I'm not just inadvertently smoking lots of crack in the spare time I can't seem to remember.
Mine does the same thing, but I just thought I was imagining things, and I just keep pushing the button until it's fully defrosted. Maybe there is some kind of damn timer **** behind the switch panel like on a toaster? LOL, no, no, no, my tint is not brown yet, who messed with my settings!?

Sounds like we're all in the same boat guys lol. I haven't noticed my seat not working but I rarely move it. I am so sick of pushing that button over and over and over and it not working most of the time.

The solution to this problem I thought was super common and well known. Guess not.
Here's the deal. Instead of fusing the circuit, GM put in a self-resetting circuit breaker instead. Its only supposed to trip off if it senses a short circuit. As they age, they start to not function properly and cut off too early. After they cool, they reset and begin working again. The solution to this problem is the pull the little silver case from your fuse box and replace it with a 30 amp blade fuse. Problem fixed.
