I’ve owned my Highlander for 4+ winters and can’t remember for the life of me if this is normal or a new behavior. I’ve notice that the center defroster continues to blow when the hvac controls do not have the the defroster selected. E.g. Outside Temp: 40 Inside Temp: Set to 68, both sides...

Hi there - I recently moved up to a high elevation ski town with my 1998 Land Cruiser (with 340k miles on it!). It gets very cold here, and obviously it's important to be able to use the heater to warm up the car, but more importantly to defrost the windshield. Unfortunately, when it gets too...

Hello all. Recently I have noticed that my AC compressor no longer kicks on when the fan is set to defrost. I always thought it did it automatically, but now the compressor only cycles on when I hit the AC button. AC by itself works as it should. Took me a while to realize my compressor was not...

The rear window defroster on my car hasn’t worked for a few years, and I learned it might be a problem with the fuse. However, when I got under the dashboard to look into the fuse box area, I found that the fuse for the defroster is in a very awkward spot. It’s extremely difficult for me to get...

I have a 2013 camry and the back window defroster looks like may have separated from the glass and is wrinkled and not clear. What do I need to do to repair it?

I have a 2000 Toyota Camry LE 3.0 V6 manual. When I use the defrost, the air blows normally through the driver window vent and the vent by the windshield. The passenger window vent barely blows any air at all regardless of fan speed. Any thoughts or similar experiences?

Hey all! I'm having some trouble diagnosing why only some of the grid lines of the rear window defogger are working. The first few top lines and bottom couple lines don't seem to be doing anything. What I have done myself so far: 1. Probed the grid lines (can't get a voltage reading on the...

Bear with me as I try to do the best I can to describe issue at hand. I'm rather green to DIY car work but love to learn it. The knob post (what the knob sits on) to select direction of air flow, defrost, defrost+feet, etc. no longer allows me to switch it to any direction other than my face...

When I turn the heat on in my 1999 Solara the front windshield defroster option does not work. The hot air comes out the front vents (facing the driver/passenger) and not the vents directly below the front windshield. How do I fix this?

Hi All, I have 2002 Corolla, its pretty much bare bones factory (crank windows, cassette etc) Anyway, its winter and I get no sort of defrost on the rear window. Other than that car seems fine. There is a defrost setting on the heater dial but no actual button that I see for the rear as is in a...

Had the Viper 5701 installed in my 1997 Camry by Best Buy, and the installer indicated the automatic rear window defrost function was not compatible with my year/make car because of the on/off button in the dash. I tried the Viper website which was basically useless. No specific topics on...

I have a 99 Camry XLE. From what I can see from the User Manual, the original antenna was imbedded in the rear window. Mine is not working, nor is the rear defroster! I am now thinking that the rear window has been replaced, and the wiring was never re-connected! Anyone out there know where to...
