Well, I'm glad someone has finally raised this issue, but the responses haven't helped much! My stupid defroster has NEVER worked properly, at least to my thinking. It won't clear more than a tiny space at the bottom of the windshield, no matter what the settings.
I've complained to my mechanic for years now about it and he says that all the hoses are clear and properly connected. Big deal! Stupid thing still won't work.
In the winter, as long as I run the heater, the windshield stays reasonably clear. But without the heater, the defroster itself does nothing. And there is no discernible airflow at the windshield outlets.
Since the hoses are connected and clear, I'm at a loss to explain why there is no appreciable airflow at the windshield outlets. The floor vents put out lots of hot air.
