defroster-air conditioning question
When I'm using my a/c in my 96 coupe,(in Florida most of the time) I get
condensation on the windshield over the defroster vents. There is cold air coming out of the vents. Is it possible the defroster flap ( or whatever it's called) isn't shutting the flow off completely when turning on the a/c and if so, what can be done without completely removing the dash? Rob 78 & 96 coupes |

Rob I have the same problem with my 96 vert. Don't have a clue what the
deal is, but it drives us crazy trying to keep windshield clear to drive. Any Ideas, add us to the list who would appreciate any ideas.

I kind of thought that, now the tough question, how difficult is the control
module to get to change? I'm moderately capable with tools if I know exactly what has to be done, just not a mechanical wizard then troubleshooting.
