Default rear defroster

a while ago my girlfriends firebird defroster stopped working because the damn terminal on the window came off. i saudered it back on and it works..but it turns itself off after maybe 10 minutes, then you have to way another 5 minutes or so for it to let you turn it back on again. now is this always like this? is the defroster on a set timer or autoshut-off once it reaches a certain temp? or is it a short or something that's throwing it off? i figured it cant be a fuse since it keeps working later on.

thanks

yea once a mod sees that pic its gone. u can do it in paint. load the pic in paint and then go to image at the top then click on stretch/skew. and change the horizontal and vertical numbers to like 75 on each. after that just play with it a big u should be able to figure it out from there
