Hi everyone,

3 month ago, in another thread, I was posting about how my engine fan is going all the time with no reason.

I Have a Toyota Matrix 2013.

NoD~ told me that my AC should be ON. Because it's turned on automaticly just by using the defrost. I was not even listening to that advice because it seemed silly. After some test ... I can insure you that that NoD~ is in the truth.

In my Toyota, If I push air in my windshield, AC is kicking-in without noticed. Which mean that last winter, I had my AC running ALL the time.

Why do I need to run AC during winter? Heater is not enough to remove humidity?

Any way, my next mod is to find a way to be able to blow hot air in my windshield without involving the AC

Also thanks to every member of this forum that is taking the time to formulate complete and clear answers.
