I don't have a clamp-on ammeter but will check around to see if any friends have one. I suspect the rear heat pads may not be workin as infrared thermometer readings are a bit lower than front 2 heat pads. Defiantly may need to be cooler outside for rear pads to come on. According to tech at Ultraheat: heat pads generally will come on near 44* but there is a 10* allowance for on/off. The fronts run converter fan 24/7 no matter outside temperatures and that is baffling me.
To Dougrainer, I looked up ambient sensor probe but not sure what this device does and how it would be incorporated into my system. The way Ultraheat tech describes on/off is there is a small metal block mounted/inserted in the foam of heat pad that contracts to create electrical connection to turn on heat pad at around 44*.
