Does A/C run for Front Defroster 94 Camry V6XLE

[iratoyota]

The A/C button is not depressed and the light is not on but I was curious if I was running the front defroster is my A/C compressor running at the same time.

I normally run it with the AC on anyway cause it works more efficiently for the temperature settings.

Also I never use the air recirculator button also. Also using fresh air. I see cars with foggy windows and know that that is the culprit and I laugh. Especially in the winter.

No, the A/C has to be manually engaged in the defrost mode.

I didn't know that using recirculated air fogs up the windows faster... Here in Hawaii the outside air is really humid, esp. after it rains, so I run the defroster with A/C on, recirculate on, and the temp. knob near the middle.

Thank for them prompt reply. I was always curious about theat particual item.
In my experience it seems that way here in Northeast. Especially in the winter.

yeah, in the gen3's the a/c doesn't come on with the defrost...I like that we can control it...

on the gen4s and up, they both come on at the same time and gets annoying if you ask me

thanks for the prompt reply. I agree. I like controlling my own A/C activation. have you ever done your fuel filter?

yup...not too hard to do...it's under your air filter box

just remember to use some pbblaster on both the top and bottom nuts for a couple of days before you tackle it and you'll be fine. use locking pliers for the bottom ones (or you can use fuel line wrenches, but I'd rather use the locking pliers so that you know you won't strip things) and hit up the top banjo bolt with an impact gun- simple as pie

thanks for the info. should i go with a toyota fuel filter ? any suggestions ?

toyota fuel filters are good of course...but expensive...


I went with motomaster (Canadian Tire brand) and it works just fine even after I went boost...so, I don't think that it makes much difference
