    Foggy window breakdown

    OK, the windows in the Eagle are almost always foggy, I normally let her warm up for 10 minutes in the morning, well, sometimes the fan is on, sometimes it isn't, doesn't get foggy until we start moving, and sometimes it seems to start on the drivers side window. Now the defroster does defog them, however, it does take a while. I was thinking could it be the heater core? When the one in the F150 went bad, defogger would make it worse, which is why I'm wondering what it could be
    Any ideas?

      Almost certainly the heater core. However, look to see if the drain hole (usually a tube) from the heater core/ A/C core box is open. They can get clogged w/leaves and the like and some are open to the elements to let air in for venting and such. Usually you'll hear a sloshing when going around corners but it's worth a look - and free. If you find it you can crawl under and clean it out with a screwdriver or a piece of wire. This is gonna sound dumb, but make sure you're not under it when you start cleaning it out. Most of us who have attempted this maneuver have gotten a face full of muck at some point (I love my hoist!).

        It does sound like a heater core

            Yeah, removal of the dash, whoopee :
            I need a couple other things done while the dash is off anyway though (finding loose grounds so I stop hearing my engine and turn signals through my radio, and a loose blower fan)

                No, not afraid of anything new new, I may be renting a garage for thr Kammback, that I'll do it on since that isn't my daily driver, my brother keeps taking the truck, my mom doesn't even have a car when my dad is working, so I need it done as quickly as possible
