My Dad gifted me his pristine '94 850 Sportwagon, in part so I can transport him as medical needs require. The car's great but for one major problem - it freeze fogs on the inside of the windows badly, especially the windshield, that severely retards my response time and requires scrapping the inside of the windows resulting in an indoor snowstorm.
I've never experienced such a problem previously with any other make or model, never mind requiring so much time to offset (20 or more minutes is typical. Ridiculous.). I must be doing something wrong.
Can anyone advise a solution for this? Thnx!

 

Is the car warming up quickly? Is the AC working (it is designed to defog and defrost the windshield)? Are you selecting defrost?

 

I didn't watch rspi's video, say maybe he covered it, but same question came up here; see post #20...

Appreciating all the recs. Been driving CDN winters for nearly 50 yrs so cold not new. Interior window frosting to this extent is new. Will experiment further w settings.
BTW, just to confirm an oddity, AC is OFF when light is ON, right? (Gotta love that.)
Thanks all!

 

That is correct, orange light on when compressor is off.

 

Always thought 'This is so backwards'.

 

You aren't the only one.


Have you checked to see if the "airmix" is open ???
