Defroster, did you know this?
Well, I have had the 04 for about 2 years and I found out something new. My vent system was on vent / floor and I hit the defrost button. If you hit the defrost button again, it goes back to it's last location, which was the vent / floor.
I tried just vent, then defrost and hit defrost and it goes back to vent. I tried hitting other buttons twice, besides the defrost and it doesn't work.
So, if you have heat on the floor and you hit defrost to clear your window, you can hit the defrost button again and it will go back to heat on the floor. Of course you can just hit the floor button, but the other way will work.
I accidently hit the defrost button twice and found this out. Now how many members know this small, insignificant fact? How many members care?

Pretty cool, didn't know this. Being in the desert, though, I have few chances to find out.
You should track down the 4th gen secrets thread (paraphrase) and put this in.

Ya I found this out awhile back, always found it odd that it doesn't work on all the vent settings.

Did not know this, had the truck 5 years. It's cool I guess, doubt I'll really put it to use.
