200 QUATTRO ELECTRICS

It's the switch on the dashboard. It is not relayed, so
the full power of the heater elements goes through the
switch itself. This makes the switches somewhat short-lived.
A new switch can be had for about $40 US, installs in <5 minutes.

Is there a separate circuit breaker for these, like for
the windows and sunroof?
