subject: Rear defroster.

My rear defroster repair that i did over a year ago needs to be repaired
again.  The last several times I have used it, I keep smelling burnt
plastic.  The wire is drawing too much power, melting the wire shielding
and the connector.  

Somehow, the silver epoxy must have started to contact my radio's antenna
(which is also in the rear window).  That seems to be what is causing the
excessive draw all of a sudden.  

I'll be repairing that at some point, soon.  Probably won't have a chance
until Christmas week since I will be off work.  Need to clean up the silver
epoxy connection and might have to re-do the entire thing.
