Nope np worry its normal. Sometimes they will stick but you will be able to hear it and feel it very easy if it does that. Some guys just unplug them completly. The only purpose it serves is to warm up the motor faster in the winter

I'd just assume throw it on a switch. Could be usefull, could be no. IMO

I'd rather have a big non stock one though for breaking purposes though.
