Defroster
Defroster On my 00 camaro i turn the defroster on and it stays on for about 20 seconds then shuts off and wont turn back on until I turn the car off then it does the 20 second life thing again. Any ideas?

Assuming your talking about the rear defroster. When it shuts off try your power seat and see if it's dead too (same circuit) - if it is probably just a weak circuit breaker and resets itself. Some people replace the breaker with a 30 AMP fuse.
I had the same problem on another Pontiac and had to replace the solid state defroster timer. (This one is supposed to time the cycle for 10 minutes and then 5 minutes for every other time you press the button.)
