Slowwwww defroster, front, not back Options

[96bluevert]

I'm not quite sure why, but my defroster takes for f****n ever to defrost just my front windshield.

Is there any way to fix or "upgrade" the front defrosters.

Generally speaking, if your front windows fog up, its actually the cars AC that kicks on to un fog the front windshield. It automatically comes on when you set the blower to the window. So maybe your ac is not working?

Not in my Celica. The AC button needs to be depressed manually for the AC to kick in while the front defogger is on.

That said, I almost never use it with the AC, at least in the winter. I just leave the temp to max-heat and set it to high. Defogs my windshield well.

As for the summer, if it's fogging up, then you probably will want to set it to vent, cool and A/C to get rid of moisture.

^solidsnake has the right idea. depending on the outside temp you will need to either us the a/c to blow cool or hot air.

ACTUALLY... they are both right... there were two variations of the climate control put out... the blue back variation automatically puts a/c on when the defrost button is pushed... you have NO choice... the white plug variation allowed the user to choose heat or a/c... also there were two rear defroster variations put out... the one with the blue main unit left the button pushed in when it was pushed... the other (white main) was a switch that returned to its original position when pushed

as for the heat issue... if you want to use heat to defrost your front windshield... your temp gauge must be halfway or higher between C and H on the gauge (instrument cluster).... AND you should have it just on DEFROST ONLY and RECIRC... recirc will give you the highest fan rate... if its not all three of these conditions... you will have a hell of a time defrosting
