why won't my windshield on my 97 chrysler lhs clear up when I turn on my defrost?

Question 1
why won't my windshield on my 97 chrysler lhs clear up when I turn on my defrost?...  My windshield won't defog when I turn on the defrost. I almost died on the freeway because my windshield was all fogged up. I couldn't see where I was going. Please tell me a way to fix this. I know there's hot air coming out of the dashboard vents but it's not defogging the window. Do I need a new windshield or something? Or is it the vents? Your help is greatly appreciated.

Answers
1)   Hey, so the defogger is not working right. I'm unclear here: ''I know there's hot air coming out of the dashboard vents but it's not defogging the window'', do you mean the windsheild defoggers? If not, make sure you have pressed the correct button on your climate control knobs. If the hot air is not blowing hard, then you may need a new blower fan or if you replaced it, check the seal around it. Another possibility is the re-circulate button may be pressed.The windsheild is fine. check those things first. I hope this helps. - nsxt290

2)   Take the car to a shop that works on heaters, and explain your problem. Do it before you get into an accident. - badbill1941

3)   Your "mode door" actuator has gone bad.
It's not allowing the warm air to switch from the dashboard to the defroster vents.
A mechanic is going to have to replace it. It's under the dash and is not a easy fix for the do it yourselfer. - seymore d

4)   Could be your heater core is leaking causing moist air to be blown on your windshield. Check for damp floor mats on pass. side under dash. - Dennis

5)   You could have one of two problems. If the air coming out of the vents doesn't smell sweet, you could have a plugged up condensate drain at the bottom of the heater box. If it does, it's the heater core.
If you consistently park under a tree, I'd bet on the drain. - racefish68122

6)   There is one thing that comes to mind. When any Chrysler made product is turned to defrost, they automatically turn on the AC. The AC in defrost mode will clear the fog off the inside of the windshield a lot quicker than the heat alone will. Check and make sure it is working properly. The cold air from the AC coil is dry air and captures the moisture off the glass better than just warm air. A leaking heater core will add to the problem too. However, it usually leaves an oily film on the glass as well. If the glass stays dry with no residue after it is cleared from fog, then the core is probably OK. - Jackolantern

Question 3
the blower control does not work at all on my Chrysler Town and Country 2006?...  My Town and Country minivan's fan/blower won't turn on at all; no matter what setting I turn it to. I know it was working yesterday when I drove two hours but it wouldn't come on at all today. The fuse is good and I was going to try the Relay which is near the fuse but the parts store didn't have one. I have three other relays that have the same numbers on them. Can I remove one and put it in the blower relay space to test it?

Answers
1)   its probably the motor if all of the speeds dont work, usually when the blower motor resistor/speed control goes out, you will only have 1 speed, high - nick

2)   Hey, I agree with the last responder. check the blower resistor to see if that is the problem. - nsxt290

3)   The resistor is bad. Very common, I've probably replaced 15 of them this week.
The motors seldom go bad.
There is a capacitor in the resistor that will burn up and you will lose even the high speed.
The resistor is suddenly getting hot air blown on it when it was getting cool air all summer.
They overheat and fail.
The resistor is cheap enough from the dealer and easy to replace. You will find it on the passenger side, under the dash. Only the electrical connector will be visible. It is held in with 2 phillips screws. Take care to not touch the resistor itself. Oil from your skin will cause the resistor to fail again prematurely. - seymore d

Question 4
Is a Chrysler 300 a good buy?...  everyone i know says chrysler is a very realible luxury car...less expensive than a cadillac...i know chrysler beats BMW in reviews...one thing i am concerned with is that it is RWD...is this a major problem? like the car weighs a lot...will it being RWD be a HUGE problem in the snow? Does it have good traction systems?

Answers
1)   Its a good reliable car and yes you can drive it in the snow just fine. People have been driving RWD cars and trucks in the snow since the cars and trucks were created.

Its not a BMW or Caddy but then again its much cheaper than both of them. - emiller1998

2)   yes, only if you want the car for maximum of 3 years. after that, american made cars are junk. they start falling apart. if you really want the car, wait for the next generation model, carmaker has been talking about it for years, i think the debut is in february?? there will be many new improvements. great technology. and buy the all-wheel drive. i have a jeep with the same problem--E.T.C. is not working, nor can the RWD work in the snow. you can get a better deal on this than you can on a bmw, mercedes etc. but if i had to chose btw. this and its other american competitors, like cadillac or buick, i would definetely go for the buick lacrosse. you need to check it out. the car looks stunning. - todd

3)   The Chrysler 300 and the Dodge Charger are good full size cars. The independent rear suspension and traction control system are shared with Mercedes so they are top notch and reliable in all weather.. The 3.5 and Hemi engines are reliable and produce good power. Common failures are egr valves at about 70,000 miles, and minor trans leak at the electrical connector. An all-wheel -drive was also built but are somewhat hard to find. Always drive and have ANY used car inspected before buying. Check for serious accident damage. - C-Tech

Question 5
2000 caravan. air bag light is on and horn does not work. is there any common fuse or relay that could cause?...  this? I very seldom use the horn as I hate people that honk at ever body they see.

Answers
1)   You have a broken clockspring in the steering column. Take it to the dealer. There is a lifetime recall on those clocksprings. I am not sure if yours falls into the year catagory but I think it does. Anyhow that is the cause of your problem. I have seen it hundreds (literally) of times. - Mike J

2)   did you run into or run over something that would trigger your airbag?? or sounds like it could be something in your wiring or yea maybe a fuse i dont know much on caravans but go through and check the fuses that have to do with airbag and horn and stuff like that. - CodyT

3)   Clockspring is bad.
there is a recall on those. They will replace it for free. get it done, your airbags won't deploy if you are in an accident. - seymore d
