Default Left Windows..Won't..Defrost!

Hey everyone,
I have a 1998 Honda Civic LX Sedan and for some reason my front and rear windows defrost quite nicely, but my side windows, particularly my left side windows will not defrost...they keep fogging up and frosting up real bad to the point where I can' teven see out of them and I have to just roll down my window...

do I have the settings right? How should I put the settings to defrost all the windows and what should I do if I do have all the settings correct.

THANKS

Turn the heat on all the way hot, turn the fan on high, put it on the front defroster option, press the circulate button, the A/C button and the rear defrost button. Then turn both side vents on (next to the windows) and point them at the windows. Seems to be the best way to do it for me.


You could always just hold your breath too.

check your fuses there are usually three fuses that control your defroster. 21 for the front and one for the rear. check those and make sure those aint blown.

First and foremost (although we never have time) warm your car up so that when you get in it, the whole car feels warm or somewhat warm. That'll fix most of it. If you don't have time, I agree w/amg! Turn your defroster up, and point your vents at your side windows...That's one of their main functions anyway!

HILARIOUS!!!

Try to face the front of the car and not breathe towards your left window.

So all three of those buttons on the bottom should be pressed?

Correct...
Try to face the front of the car and not breathe towards your left window.
But if his side window's fogging up, wouldn't breathing to the front of the car fog up his windshield...If you're gonna breathe somewhere, better to breathe towards your passenger side!
