Yes,, It was my R129. Do you know where the short was?? I guess that the heater requires a lot of current and with a little common sense I figure it must be fused. But if it's fused and short to something the fuse would blow.. I don't get it. Is there some kind of unfused control-current to the heater that was shorted in the cases you refered to?? It's spring in Sweden now and the fluid heater isn't that necessary. Is there a way to disable it?? I really don't want my car to be transformed to a carbon pile.
