Winter's approaching. Noticed these on ebay a couple of days ago. The price is well below everyone else's.

HotShot

The guy has a few of them....

I have exactly the same problem. I will call tech support also to figure this out. The manual says it needs to be primed by activating the regular washer fluid to fill up HotShot the first time. I did that and used half the fluid in the tank and it still didn't work!
Let me know if you find out anything.
Thanks,
Jim

I ended up putting the unit on the firewall, the button on the right side of the wheel and the fuse I attached to the outside of the fuse box:

Any idea if they are going to use a different button from the one that came with the unit? I know the buick lesabre and Cadillac DTS will have the units too...

Awe..How did you get it for free? I spoke with the guy..he said "is this jim?" I said "no, but probably the guy I've been talking to with the same problem." He told me that I would probably need the extra parts...come to think of it...it probably wasn't Jim that I talked to. Oh well...told me the kit would cost $4.00 plus shipping. So I checked around here locally without any luck and then called the order department. Just got a fax, and it says the kit is $2.00...they're going to try and just first class it to me instead of paying for ups... Oh well....just a couple of bucks..I actually got two kits...I might install one on my wife's vehicle...

How much was the bypass kit +shipping? Do you think I could pick up the parts at the local auto store?

Since the announced "Limited-Edition Pacific Blue Hummer" has a heated wiper system, I wonder how difficult it would be to retrofit it to older H2s?

Anyone here know anything about retrofitting newer parts/options in older trucks?

Limited-Edition Pacific Blue Hummer Debuts
Date Posted 09-27-2005

DETROIT — A 2006 limited edition of the Hummer H2, in SUV and sport-utility-truck (SUT) versions, goes on sale this week with a new color choice and unique features.

The price of the SUV version of the Pacific Blue edition will start at $65,900, Hummer said. SUT pricing on the special model will start at $65,455. The Pacific Blue SUV and SUT will have a combined production of 875 units, the GM brand said.

The package features a body-color grille and fender moldings, brush and taillamp guards with a special finish, a rocker molding with an integrated assist step, 17-inch polished forged-aluminum wheels, carbon-fiber interior accents and a lower-profile, roof-mounted light bar. The package also has chrome hood handles, hood latches and a fuel-filler door.

In addition, the special edition has a heated windshield wiper system and a rear-seat DVD system with dual headrest-mounted screens and wireless headphones.

What this means to you: Hummer is working to keep people interested in its brand.

Guys:

I am guessing that at some point the line to the rear window nozzle passes under the vehicle with the other fore/aft piping. That means in subzero weather you must keep moving a column of heated fluid through chilled piping until you heat the piping sufficiently that it doesn't cool the fluid to the point of being ineffective in removing ice. My guess is that it would require at least two complete flushes of the rearward piping to work. I don't think the HotShot holds that much fluid. Doesn't seem very efficient to me.

I'd be curious to hear from someone who has used the rear bypass kit on an H2 in severe weather.

Let me say that I'm having the HotShot installed for use with my front washers to remove ice when I go hunting this winter. I understand it works very well in that mode.

I remember seeing these at a car show about 5 years ago.... Something about shooting hot water on a frozen windshield doesn't seem like a good idea to me.

The bypass actually isn't for the rear washer. It allows the hotshot pump to draw fluid directly from the reservoir. If it doesn't have the direct flow, then the pump can't pull the water through because of the "one-pump" setup. If it can't get enough flow, then the auto setting is useless...

In the end...just helps get the unit working properly for the front windshield only...

Just make sure when you/whomever installs it, you need to get the bypass kit for it to operate properly in the H2. Like NJH2 said...you should be able to get it free...otherwise $2.00.

was just about to post the same question NJ. I'm thinking about mounting the button just below the rear wiper control knob. If I can, I'll run the wire right down into the crack. As far as the heating unit, thinking about snipping the side tabs on the bracket, bending the top tabs at 90 degrees and mounting it on the L-bracket the goes around the top of the washer reservoir (where the hood bumper/support is also attached. Unless there's a better idea, I figure it should be enough out of the way..

Other question: which hose do we attach the heater to? The left or the right (the ones to the right of the washer reservoir)?

There is NOTHING like this website for getting all of the good information on H2s.

Ok, finished it. I connected it to the B+ terminal and it works. The only thing that doesn't work is the automatic setting. It says it doesn't have water flowing in when it's on the auto setting. I'll have to call tech support tomorrow. It works just fine manually though. Hey dick, did yours work on "automatic" when you had yours?

Right side.

Ok, got everything installed, but messed up on my power point. I connected to the upper left stud under the fuse cover (I thought there was power, but then there wasn't...don't know which fuse to look at). So I switched to the upper right fuse...it started working, but then stopped. Blew the fuse...it's a 30amp...so have to get a new one. So, now the question is...can I attach the power line to the power post/stud on the left side of the fuse block? The lower one doesn't read power, but the upper one does. It's marked as B+ in the diagram.... Any thoughts before I blow another fuse? (oh, the one that came with the unit is a 60amp...that's why I blew the stud #2. )
