Sean-

I blew out my wiper switch due to a bad regulator.
I had 18 volts when I checked it, it also took out the battery, boiled it.
Might be worth looking at.

Hi Sean,

I am not home, so I don't have a wiring schematic with me, and I don't
recall if the heater switch is part a circuit connected to the resistor
(doesn't sound right, but who knows).  I was just thinking about your
noting that the wire from the resistor was melted.
