Wanna turn off the rear window defroster heating, and keep it off – permanently.
When you set the heated seats on, or heated steering wheel, it turns on the rear-window defrost mode.
I don’t want/need that running, and know that is a 1mpg loss in fuel economy.
Not too big of deal, but 99% of the time, wife runs with these heat setting on, and barely 5% of the time would I ever need it, so why lose MPG.
QUESTION: Can I pull a fuse, or unplug the wiring to the defroster lines (cannot see it on window edge), to stop heating the dang window?
