They might be clogged. Do a search for more info.   Jack Edwards (Olered) Senior Member Username: Olered Post Number: 372 Registered: 04-2002 Posted on Monday, July 14, 2003 - 04:41 pm:    I think that he is referring to the mystery vapor cloud that comes from the vents. It's not actually wet. I've had this in just about every car that I've owned. It's obivously nothing too bad. I've yet to develope the permanent orange afro from it!   Mike Rupp (Mike_rupp) Member Username: Mike_rupp Post Number: 225 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Monday, July 14, 2003 - 05:03 pm:    When I had a visual mist coming from my vents, it was just after a weekend offroading in the mud. When checking the drains I got a face full of water. After that, no more mist.   Blake Monchilovich (Azblake) Member Username: Azblake Post Number: 66 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Tuesday, July 15, 2003 - 10:39 am:    It could be that your ac is icing up. There are some switches in the loop that cut the compressor for different situations. One of mine is bypassed , although I can't remember which one. I blow mist but live in Phoenix so it's usually dry and or hot enough not too worry about it.
