    Uhhh my 96 civic had an air conditioner button, and it also turned on when you turned the defroster on.

    You’re making shit up, it’s a simple interconnection, and the physics of air conditioning removing moisture has been known for a long time.

    During winter snow constantly gets inside of a vehicle, so without an interconnected ac with defrost, the interior would always fog up. It just may not light up the button, but defrost turns the ac on.

      Does absolutely nobody understand the difference between FOG vs FROST?

      • The deFROSTer is meant to gently melt snow and ice FROST off your windshield using the heater. Kinda fucking counterintuitive to blow freezing air at a frozen windshield, the FROST will never thaw that way.

      • The deFOGger is meant to dry the humidity off your windshield on a hot humid day, that uses the air conditioner on hot humid days.

      Two different systems, for two different climates. deFOGger vs deFROSTer are two completely different modes of the climate controls.
