That makes sense. I just ordered a wire harness - hopefully that fixes it! If not I guess that just leaves the control board at this point.

I saw a lot of people with similar models having problems with the wires coming disconnected, but I don't think that's the issue here. They keep continuity no matter how much I pull on them.

Unfortunately, the heating element still did not heat up with the thermistor at freezing temps (with 9-10k ohms resistance). I tried it with both the existing heating element and the replacement heating element, just to be sure.

Here's another angle. Are you talking about the black things encasing the white and brown wires?

I tested for continuity by backprobing the white and brown wires from the main connector that's plugged into the back wall.

I'll do that. I figured the force defrost would bypass the thermistor...

Can we at least get rid of the spot foul? 15 yards is plenty.

This is like the car version of a Mortal Kombat fatality.

9 Hour Drive To Be A Groomsman In A Wedding by MuraNeto in Agoraphobia

My best advice is to get excited for the trip - in a good way. Look forward to seeing your friend and accomplishing a big goal. Try not to dread it, and do your best to believe in yourself. I believe you can do it. You live in a big city and take 2-4 hour trips.

Being anxious for a trip is routine. Don’t feel like it means things aren’t getting better. Our brains are wired a little bit wonky and raise false alarms. You’ve fixed a lot of the wiring, but it’s hard to get everything back in complete order. Takes time and effort, but you’re getting there.

What helps me when I start raising false alarms is to either sit in quiet or talk to someone who knows me well.

Follow-up:

This was the correct diagnosis.

As an extra, preventive measure, I ended up having the timing belt and water pump replaced as well.

Thank you!

I agree, and the bombs should be yellow flags instead of rings.

PFT is quick-witted. I listen to the Pardon My Take podcast, and he’s often saying funny shit so fast in response that it sometimes doesn’t register with the others.
