Hey, didn't think of turning off DSC! Thanks!

80stech,
"hot weather setup" basically a good mechanical clutch, good water pump, and good thermostat. The thermostat wide open, temps run at 194F (90C) while moving (hot summer temps).

Fog lights, headlights, defrost (full fan speed), door/rear hatch defrost on, and full seat heater turned on at idle is not good! It's probably why the seat heater turned off. Next time, I'll set the seat to the lowest setting. Turn off the lights while defrosting too. I did fully charge the battery two days before the current storm. I wanted a full charge since I knew I had to start up today.
