Today, for the first time since we brought our new (to us) ‘04 Crossfire home at the end of January, we decided the roads were as dry and salt free as they would be for a while so we took our Crossfire out on a back roads run up to Green Bay for supper.

The outside air temperature was about 30, the sun was out and the air was dry.

On a day like this, all of our other cars would keep the windows free of fog by just setting the fan to the first or second position and tempering the incoming air through the dash and foot vents to about 65 degrees with the heater control (no AC in use).

Imagine our surprise when we had trouble keeping the windows from fogging up on the inside, especially the windows on the side of the car away from the sun! Even with the air conditioner on, the fan speed set to maximum, the air distribution mode set to defrost and the rear window defroster set on, the windows did not completely de-fog.

It was as if the air handling system was set to re-circulate (but it wasn’t). (Is there a way to confirm that the air re-circulation switch is actually doing something besides turning it’s tally light on and off?)

Has anyone else had this problem with their Crossfire Coupe?
