Re: ZJ defogging problem, wifey is unhappy
Thanks guys, ----, Mike, Earl, Jeff, Lon, Billy Ray and others.
I explained to the wifey how it should work and how if that fails she
should try it (by manually selecting ac on). I'll put the system through
its self test next chance I get and let you know what the results are.
Cheers and thanks again
