Ok, finished it. I connected it to the B+ terminal and it works. The only thing that doesn't work is the automatic setting. It says it doesn't have water flowing in when it's on the auto setting. I'll have to call tech support tomorrow. It works just fine manually though. Hey dick, did yours work on "automatic" when you had yours?

Punched through this grommet without any problems...much easier coming from the engine compartment to the inside...had to move the hood spring bracket out of the way

Ok, this is where I messed up... Don't do it the way it's pictured here. I tried the two posts on the top...didn't notice the second one had a 30amp fuse on it...so after blowing the first and second...finally attached it to the B+ post...the top one along the left side of the fuse box. This one has a 125amp? on it. Haven't blown that fuse yet...
Oh...anybody know where the fuse is for the left post on the top side of the fuse box? The right one was easy to see blown...but I don't know where the left one is...

I was too lazy to "mount" the inline fuse for the hotshot...so I just tied it down...

All done! I attached the ground to the convenient screw to the right of the hood latch. Took me longer than I would have liked...but this was the first time working on electrical stuff on this rig...and I was trying to keep the 16month old from crawling underneath the vehicle....kids...
Now I just have to check on the automatic setting for the hotshot. It wasn't working properly...but everything else is.

I have exactly the same problem. I will call tech support also to figure this out. The manual says it needs to be primed by activating the regular washer fluid to fill up HotShot the first time. I did that and used half the fluid in the tank and it still didn't work!
Let me know if you find out anything.
Thanks,
Jim

OK, here is what I found out. Since we have dual washers (front and back) we need to install a bypass kit. Tech support is sending me 1 right away. Everything is still OK to use in Manual Setting in the mean time.
This is what they are sending me:
PDF FILE for Bypass Kit
and here is the link to the tech website:

How much was the bypass kit +shipping? Do you think I could pick up the parts at the local auto store?

Hey Doc,
No Charge for parts or shipping! 
I told them someone else has the same problem and would be calling for the same parts and he said no problem.
I forgot his name but for some reason I think it's the same as mine, Jim.
Call this # 800-555-4518 hit 0 for the operator and ask them to page Tech support. I waited on hold for 20 min before I hung up and hit 0, they picked up right away after getting paged.
Jim

Awe..How did you get it for free? I spoke with the guy..he said "is this jim?" I said "no, but probably the guy I've been talking to with the same problem." He told me that I would probably need the extra parts...come to think of it...it probably wasn't Jim that I talked to. Oh well...told me the kit would cost $4.00 plus shipping. So I checked around here locally without any luck and then called the order department. Just got a fax, and it says the kit is $2.00...they're going to try and just first class it to me instead of paying for ups... Oh well....just a couple of bucks..I actually got two kits...I might install one on my wife's vehicle...

Guys:
I am guessing that at some point the line to the rear window nozzle passes under the vehicle with the other fore/aft piping. That means in subzero weather you must keep moving a column of heated fluid through chilled piping until you heat the piping sufficiently that it doesn't cool the fluid to the point of being ineffective in removing ice. My guess is that it would require at least two complete flushes of the rearward piping to work. I don't think the HotShot holds that much fluid. Doesn't seem very efficient to me.
I'd be curious to hear from someone who has used the rear bypass kit on an H2 in severe weather.
Let me say that I'm having the HotShot installed for use with my front washers to remove ice when I go hunting this winter. I understand it works very well in that mode.

The bypass actually isn't for the rear washer. It allows the hotshot pump to draw fluid directly from the reservoir. If it doesn't have the direct flow, then the pump can't pull the water through because of the "one-pump" setup. If it can't get enough flow, then the auto setting is useless...
In the end...just helps get the unit working properly for the front windshield only...
Just make sure when you/whomever installs it, you need to get the bypass kit for it to operate properly in the H2. Like NJH2 said...you should be able to get it free...otherwise $2.00.

Actually I just went to their website and in this video it says all units made after 01/05 come with the bypass kit and for anyone that has a kit from prior to 01/05, and need 1, can get 1 for free by contacting tech support:
