1996 SL2, Had a leaky radiator, and a radiator fan motor go bad. After running some super flush through the cooling system, replaced the radiator, thermostat, temp sensor, water pump and fan motor. Hoses weren't that old and still in good shape. No leaks, all is well. Until it got cold outside! Switched the temperature from cold to hot and the windows fogged up really fast! Eventually figured out a balance using the AC compressor, cracking the windows, and "sneaking" the temperature over from cold to about 3/4 hot. Is there some sort of valve or something in the HVAC system, or am I looking at a leaky heater core?
