the external air option on the dash
or do you circulate the air from inside?
I tried circulating the air in side for a month, to see if it warms up any quicker
and it doesn't. All it does is get damp over time, and then stay damp and foggy inside
because jimny's don't have air con ( I don't know about newer ones)
but mine doesn't and its 2003
they don't dehumidify, being small they fog up really quickly,
it gets really bad if it's rainy, with a wet coat, wet shoes etc you get in and it makes it worse lol
all you can do when it's really bad is have the heating on full and have the
window ajar to let the moisture out

Hi all, has anyone any ideas where to look? This morning when I fired up little Jim and put the blower on to demist the screen there is a smell similar to warm engine coolant! The cab is constantly misting up and the air feels really damp. I've checked the coolant level and thats fine, checked the carpets up under the footwell for leaks and they are dry and I got no air con to worry about. Thanks.
It certainly sounds like a coolant leak in the cab doesn't it but maybe the water is in the heater air intake?

My guess would be heater matrix put some K seal in the radiator and see if that stops the misting
Is K seal like Radweld ?

No comparison; K-Seal works, Radweld don't.

Always carry a bottle out on the trail just in case.
