Jay, my man, why on earth would you expend the time to e-mail The List before
you have checked something as visible as a blown fuse?  It might be a blown
fuse, since some wizard at VW chose to use a single node for both branches.
I guess the thinking must have been, if you don't have wipers, why would you
need a defroster?  Or perhaps it's the other way around.

In my experience, the extra load your failing blower motor has been dragging
though the X-CNTCT relay may have finally taken its toll.  If your lucky, the
relay socket is not melted too badly.  Should it just be the fuse, it would
be wise to be prepared and carry a spare X-CNTCT relay or a prepared jumper.
