Is the factory installed one named "Hotshot"?
If so, mine has not worked since day one.
I took it back to the dealer and after 3 days in the shop, it worked a total of two times.
The instructions are pretty vague. It tells you to push the button (No kidding) and nothing else.
I know I'm gonna be really pissed once the snow starts falling here.

Not understanding the Prime every time statement. Sure that isn't just the first time?
There is a one-way check valve between the unit and the reservoir that prevents fluid from going back into the reservoir, so how is the unit going dry? The unit, whether on or off, just allows the fluid to be pushed through from the pump.
I would understand if you run out of fluid it would require priming again.

That makes sense to me. But, when I called tech support they said that it's most likely fried because I didn't prime it...asked me to send it to them....unfortunately, it's an ebay purchase from over a year ago, so no warranty left on it....figured I'd install the extra one I bought and see what happens....

I sure do like the heated windshield on the wifes LR though....

btt- anyone else do the installation yet?

Where do you order from? I called the company, but no response.

I'd like to do the factory setup if I can't get the cheaper one.

He Jeff!

Long time no speak! Don't do it! You'll only make all the bastards who hate you happy! So, if I can distract you, I too am going to join the Wabasto crew. Is there any particular advantage to using the factory harnesses or switch vs buying it off e-ghey? Does it look any more "factory?" f so I'm in! Do you have any shots or drawings of the switch and is location? Thank you and Happy Holidays!

Sorry guys for not responding sooner. I've been away for awhile.

DO NOT ORDER ANY OF THE GM WIRING HARNESSES THAT I TRIED TO USE AND PREVIOUSLY POSTED THE PART NOS. FROM WHAT I RECALL THESE ITEMS CANNOT BE USED UNLESS YOU ALSO REPLACE THE ENTIRE DASH WIRING HARNESS. I used the GM mounting bracket and all items included with the Webasto Hot Shot unit. It looks pretty close to a factory installation. One caution... Do not purchase a Hot Shot unit that you integrate into the wiper system wiring. I think they refer to this unit as including the automatic mode. It has inherent problems that were a nightmare to figure out - that is if rhey even offer this model any more. Purchase a Hot Shot that does NOT have to be wired to the wiper system.

Hope this helps!

Just won ebay auction! $91 + $10 S&H = $101 total.

Sure could use photos for installation. Thanks!

T - here are some photos of the install under the hood and also the switch on the dash. The switch on the dash is a combo switch, the top part kills the interior lights when the door is opened, the center round one controls the dash lights and the lower 1/2 of the switch is the heated washer fluid switch and indicator light.

The under hood unit is mounted with a bracket on the drivers side of the washer tank. There are some pretty girthy wires running into the unit so it must draw quite a bit of juice.

Kinda hard to get a good shot where its located and all the other stuff in the engine bay. I guess I could rip out the engine and get you a few better photos...LOL

Hope these help!

Mikey. YOU RULE! That was just what I needed. Although I'm hoping someone with the LIMITED EDITION will post shots of their switch. (With the radical '08 change to the interior, there is no way for me to duplicate your switch set-up.) Thank you for your trouble. I look forward to the shots after you pull the motor.

Hey Drty I saw you edited my post and got the pics to show up in the post. How the heck do you do that? All I can ever get to happen is the link. Thanks for fixing that.
