Have a '11 Crown Vic with 290k miles and I've been having a problem with the windows fogging up all the way around. The defrost seems to be working about half the time. On humid rainy days it'll work for say a half hour keeping the windows clear, then the windows will fog hard for 10-15 mins. And then it might decide to start working again, back and forth it goes. When I started it just now the compressor clutch turns when the a/c is turned on, although I haven't had a chance to observe it when the windows are fogging.


A secondary problem it has is that it only blows air through the vents on the front of the dash, straight out into the cabin. The air flows only very weak out the defrost vent at the windshield or the floor. It does this on all settings. Although this might contribute somewhat to the problem, it seems like the a/c does completely cut out as the windows will still fog hard with the a/c set to on and on full fan. When it cuts off the air in the cabin feels immediately humid. One that that helps somewhat is to turn the temp toward cooler and it seems to not fog as much and gives it a chance to maybe clear the fog some.


Any idea what's causing this or what I should do to start testing?

Have had the new Defender now about a week, and was wondering what gear you should use when trailering?
I'm just first of many questions.

im looking for a way to lower my renegade, i was wondering if it is possible with the stock fox podiums. if not, would anybody have any ideas on how i could do it. i use my renegade as my daily driver now, my wife has her car so i figured why not sell mine, especially as its so much more fun on the renegade in the norwegian winter, and i dont have to pay for the insane toll gates dotted all over the city, plus im allowed to ride in the bus lanes which is rush hour heaven. i already do a lot of long road trips (250-300km+) but id like to lower the centre of gravity to help road cornering a little. i have no problem riding up to the speed limit at the moment, but id feel safer if i was a little closer to the ground. i already use gbc afterburn street tyres in the summer, and the stock rubber in the winter due to the 6 month freeze and snow we get here.

Hi all,

So i have a 2005 200 phoenix and when I move the choke lever, the cable does not slide through the jacket but bends out.
When I manually slide the cable it seems ok. The cable is kinked a little from previous owners but before I ordered a new one for $35, I wanted to reach out to the forum.
Attached are two pics.

All the instructions that I have on paper And online says that these connectors are suppose to be there. Any help would be appreciated.

So I have a 2013 Sportsman Big Boss 800 that I purchased last Spring. Unfortunately I discovered like 10 frame breaks on it. Not a great introduction to owning my first ATV! I tore it down to the frame and had a welder fix me up with gusset welds and reinforcements. Then I POR15’d it. Now I am finally putting it back together and I’m wondering if I really need to replace every nylok lock-nut that I pulled off? I’m thinking that reusing the prior nuts and adding some blue thread locker should be fine so long as they don’t look too terrible. Anybody have any bad experiences from reusing their nylon lock-nuts?
