The actual button to tom it on and off would be nice too! Anybody have problems with their hotshot. Mine stopped working last month. Sometimes, the light just flashes, other times, no light at all.

Yup!
Same problems! It worked a few times after I first installed it (while testing it) then when I really needed it in a blinding snow storm NOTHING!

Latest update regarding HotShot heated windshield washer system:

I recently purchased a brand new in the box Microheat HotShot system on ebay (Item #220034844895) for $77.50 + $8.50 shipping - "Smokin Deal". This is a complete system including the heater unit, wiring, switch, and mounting bracket. The heater unit appears to be identical to the heater unit used in the 2007 Glacier Blue special edition H2. I could have simply installed the entire system as purchased but I want as close to a factory installation as possible. Accordingly, I also ordered the GM factory mounting bracket, two wiring harnesses, and switch from Partsguy - total cost for these items from him approximately $240. I'll do the install as soon as I receive these items. Hopefully it will work and look like the factory install.

Anybody have the limited edition operating instructions for the hotshot unit? I spoke with the hotshot people, and they said that i most likely overheated the unit, that's why it's not working any more. Said that I didn't prime it. The manual says that you need to prime it before using after initial install....wasn't aware that I was supposed to prime it every time I use it....Is that the way it is with the limited edition installs?

This is from there web site:

Page 9 says you need to prime the unit.

So, that has to be done everytime you use it, not just the first time after install?
