I said 90’s through 2000’s, I said nothing about 2010’s or beyond.
I do not have much of any experience in working on anything past 2005.
Anything past 2014 is what I call new generation enshittified, as that’s around the year they basically started tracking everyone, refusing to offer printed service manuals (Hayne’s/Chilton), stop offering parts and requiring ‘owners’ to take the vehicle back to the dealership for repair.
I’m all about the right to repair. Your 2015 is a new generation enshittified thing, sorry.
So why are you discounting what people who do use modern cars are saying as incorrect if you don’t know much about it? I’d wager most people probably aren’t driving 25-35 year old vehicles anyway so at best you’re just stating outdated and irrelevant knowledge.
Knowledge is never irrelevant if you’re still driving around a 30+ year vehicle. Knowledge is relevant across all years, here’s reference from 1960-2025 year range vehicles. I’m not fucking retarded…
What I do know, first hand experience, is if the air conditioner goes out before the heater core heats up, well you got about 15 seconds to roll the windows down for airflow to keep the windshield from fogging up.
My 04 turns on the AC with the defrost, so did the 01 I used to drive, both base-level economy boxes so actually wait what the hell have you been driving?

OK
In my old '90s car, heat only just made the fog worse. You had to have AC on too. Though it did trust you to know that and turn it on yourself.
And this is the proper way.

Do people understand the difference between FROST vs FOG?
FROST != FOG
