I had heard from someone that this might have been common practice on GM cars in the early 80's, so I guess it wouldn't be much of a stretch for it to be standard on a D. That's why I wasn't sure if I had a problem or not. But given everyone's input, it doesn't sound like it's normal for the DeLorean. The air here in Vegas in very dry anyway, so it's not helpful to me in the winter. BTW, what's a defroster? :) Thanks to all who responded with consistent opinions that I need to explore what might be going on with the diodes. On and off list, folks have helped me identify their location. If I have a bad one, I've also found them available for purchase. I'll let you know what I find when it's all resolved...
