[Shop-talk] extremely window fogging

[Tim .]

Thanks all.


After some "testing" it turns out to be from my running the system on recirculate instead of fresh air.


I always ran the recirculate setting because the fan blows harder. And I thought the harder fan was needed because of how easily my windows used to for up.


Livin' and learnin' !!


Thanks again

tim

My DD is a 99 toyota solara. When it gets cold, the windows fog up extremely bad. The windscreen is almost impossible to keep clear with the blower on high and the heat maxed out. The blower seems to be running fine with great air movement. With these below zero temperatures, if I am on the road for over a half hour, the windscreen just about becomes fogged up to make it impossible to drive.


I thought that maybe I had a heater core leak but the radiator is full and the overflow tank is only a little low under the cold line. Also, the windows are icey, not greasy as one would might expect with a heater core leak.


So two questions:


If it was a heater core leak, wouldn't it be plainly obvious by looking at the coolant levels?


Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to combat this?


Thanks

tim
