Defogger, couple of questions.... Options

[marco-polo]

this may have been covered in previous posts, ive been searching around and don't know what the problem is..

my defog doesn't work...
the problem is my windshield will get fogged up and the only way to clear the glass is to turn on the a/c...
my rear defog works great without any problems.

also another problem i have is the heater doesn't work either, like i mentioned before my a/c works great, the weather is pretty cold and a heater would be great.

Thanks for any help or recommendations in advance i greatly appreciated....

1) defogger: it's totally typical and normal that the only way to get the defog to work through the vents is to turn on the a/c with the selector on the defog positions. Many cars are like this, and in some newer cars, the a/c comes on automatically when the defog position is selected.

2) heater doesn't work: it's highly likely that your heater core is out, and needs to be replaced. Not such good times, and not really something you should do yourself unless you have a decent degree of mechanical ability.
