Heater problem
1988 Toyota Camry 4 cyl Automatic 172000 miles

Hi,

about a month ago I started to notice smoke coming through the vents when I'm driving my car. All of my windows fog up and I can't really see out of them. As I was driving today I turned on my heater and the whole car started to fill up with smoke. Does that have anything to do with the heating coil or could it be something else? If it is the heating coil is it an expensive repair?

Does it smell like burned wires/rubber or antifreeze?

I don't really notice a smell at all so what could that mean? Thanks for responding

Inspect the blower motor and its wiring-could be fried
