might want to return that windshield washer heater!
It's recalled due to over-heating...don't remember who it was that purchased it but I remember someone mentioning the dangers of over-heating in a thread.

Rep Power: 0 Yeah but people bought them thinking they worked.
Only think they managed to do was like Andrew said drain your battery and your wallet.
And besides liquid only passes by the heating element for a short time, not enough to significantly raise the temperature of the windshield washing fluid.

Rep Power: 0 well even if it did not cause those problems.. you would have to replace the rubber lines often because of the quick temperature changes from -something to +60c.. there is bound to be some cracks in the lines...
