I have had one for several years. Have found numerous uses including as noted by previous posters water leaks, air infiltration, etc. The most satisfying and cost justifying result was when i had a battery boiling drain on my 72 911 that would not blow a fuse. Could NOT figure out where it was originating. Instead of old school circuit by circuit detective work I gave the flir a try.
Hooked up the battery after the car was cold and disconnected overnight. Removed the battery connection after about 10 seconds. Powered up the flir. Following the glowing orange wire like a highway from the fuse block, under the dash, through the tunnel, up and out along the firewall and finally out to the license plate lights had me laughing out loud. It was oddly satisfying. A small area of 46 year old insulation had rubbed through and was contacting the engine lid near the license plate illumination lights.
Problem solved in 5 minutes.
I'm a fan.
