I noticed the fuse for the heated washer fluid right after I got my XF back in October of 2005 while examining just about every little thing during that first week of ownership. I just assumed it was true. Here in South Florida, it really doesn't make much difference either way. The fluid is naturally heated by ambient temperature.


But there is one strange thing I noticed about 04Fire's pic of the fuse panel card from within the fuse box...

Mine looks just as warped and crumpled as his. I was kind of surprised to find it in such condition while the car was otherwise pristine when purchased.
