All,

I am having a unique issue with the windows in my car. When the temp falls below 40F, usually around 30F, when I first get in my car and start it up, all the winodws in the car fog up a great deal, and are very moist to the touch. After letting the blower defrost the windshield which takes 10min to be able to see out of it, the rear windows are still impossible to see out of. What could cause this? I have had all of my drains checked.

Thanks for your time.

Are you familiar with the RECIRC mode/button? Could your car be stuck in RECIRC mode?

 

Yes I am, and I tried turning that mode on and off for different periods of time, any way to check? Maybe the actual vent is closed?

 

Does it smell like Syrup or have a Green Tint? May have a crack in your Heater Core.

 

Yes, I do get that syrup smell but don't noitce a green tint, but I think there is a direct connection between wet weather and thefogging up...

 

Slide the Dial to Highest Heat setting
Window Defrost.
Depress the Button to RECIRCULATE the Cabin Air
That will increase the Air Blower Speed.

Crack open the rear two windows for 5 minutes or so.

Here in Florida I have intense Humidity and that's my morning, 0600 routine.

 

Thanks!!! What is the cause of this? Are my door seals going bad from frequent car washes and high milage?

 

Sounds dumb but see if your a/c is working. you may need an evaporator. Some fogging in cold weather is normal but hte a/c should circ to dry the air. So even though there is not hot air coming out it souldstill dry the window. It's probably not green becasue there may not be a/c dye in your system which means it was probably not ever worked on.

 

I understand this is old but I imagine it is a leaking heater core.
