window fog up real quick

i find this annoying since it doesnt happen to any other cars i drive, my windows tend to fog up real quick. I do put the blower on by the windshield with a/c on. After it clears up i either turn the fan off or just put it on low with a/c off. Within couple of minutes it fogs up again?

I agree-- clean windows and apply anti fog !

Ck radiator pressure- if you are leaking coolant at the heater core it will fog the windows constantly

Clean the windows, and know hat any moisture source in the car will eventually evaporate and condense on cool glass.

with winter upon us its important to make sure no leaks are in the heater core-
a mini radiator itself- located in the cabin with the blower motor and filters.
that can happen when coolant sits in there uncirculated for the summer.
I had one go and the windows were coated in glycol from it--not good for seeing thru

its easy to pressure test the system to ck for leaks--
IF the rad or res bottle are low at all- then test for leaks

While you are there- clean the battery terminals and test electrical system
winter calls for more drain on batt at one time, all the time!
seat heat, lights, heater, stereo etc will tax a weak battery ,,to death!

average battery life now for normal battery brands is 3- 4 years--they go fast!
optima and interstate brands seem to last longer.. for more money

If your heater core is leaking, it WILL fog the glass. But you would definitely notice the sweet smell of coolant.

If you don't know what coolant smells like, stick your finger into a COLD radiator, and give it a sniff...
