[DeTomaso] LED's for frunk, engine bay

Fri Jun 5 00:12:07 EDT 2020

I've never, ever even tried the rear defroster, in 20 years of ownership.
I've also never, ever, ever had the conditions that would require it - with
the engine right next to the glass, the probability of fogging up is just
about nil. There are some pretty useless features on the car, but this is
number one in my book!

   I've never, ever even tried the rear defroster, in 20 years of
   ownership. I've also never, ever, ever had the conditions that would
   require it - with the engine right next to the glass, the probability
   of fogging up is just about nil. There are some pretty useless features
   on the car, but this is number one in my book!

     I believe it is broken though, and the problem is likely in the
     glass. I tried using it once when the cabin was all fogged up, and
     nothing happened when I switched it on. I checked and there was
     power and ground to the terminals on the glass. Not a high priority
     thing to fix.
     Cheers,
