'Wow': Drivers urged to use 'magic' one-button trick to defrost the car in minutes
A big shout out this morning to the experts at drivingtestsuccess.com for the revelation that turning my "defrost" to high and letting the car warm up will defrost my windshield. I am so relieved that I will no longer have to scrape my windows or drive with my head out the side window this winter. I've always wondered what that Defrost button actually was for.

With the stupidity that's in this country today, it's probably helpful information.

now if we can send out a memo about how to turn on the headlights instead of driving around with there daytime driving lights (witch causes no taillights on) we'd be sort of ok

"Twilight sentinel" dumbed up drivers to not use the headlight switch.
Ohio has the windshield wipers on, headlights on, law, but it's not enforced. Maybe the manufacturers could wire cars so that if the wipers are on for longer than using the windshield squirters, so are the headlights, and tail lights, because not many drivers can figure out how to turn them on manually. |

Pretty much everything on msn.com is clickbait.

Man I love this thread . People have gotten so stupid .
Now with self driving and self parking it’s only gonna get worse . The best post is the reverse natural selection. It’s so true . This thread shows me maybe just maybe there’s hope still.

Agree 100%, I don't drive ford products, so I wasn't aware of that feature.

That feature actually started before that with the Lincoln's. You could turn it on or off with the Ford scan tool. I want to think it started when the new body Town car came out in 1998.

That is something that has been bothering me for years. I think at least part of the blame is on the manufacturers. Every time I've been in a position to observe the interior while passing one of these vehicles, I've noticed that the instrument panel lights are on in spite of the fact that the headlights are off... With a dark instrument panel, even an idiot would realize that something's wrong.

Fifty years ago the owners manual showed you how to change spark plugs, set the points, and adjust the timing. Modern manuals now use 10 pages warning you not to drink the contents of the radiator

I have a theory of why some people don't turn their lights on in inclement weather, or sometime even when the sun is almost over the horizon. They heard there was an energy shortage, and think that their electric bill would go down if they don't turn on their lights..........

The lights are not dim. They are the headlights, only none of the other lights are on. No markers, no tails. Hard to tell that from the driver's seat and everything looks normal because the instrument panel lights are on.
