- This is a frustrating issue caused by not getting fresh air into the cab which is usually because of a broke electronic actuator. This video shows how to bypass the electronics by finding the fresh air door under the dash and manually opening to allow fresh air to enter the cab. This video shows you the specifics on my 2010 dodge caravan. On other cars, your fresh air door should be on the inside firewall under the dash somewhere near your cabin air filter. Find it and manually open it. Good luck.

Thanks for this video! I've been having the same issue with foggy windows in my Town and Country and have looked for an explanation. I did as you suggested, removed just the bottom glove box, cut out some of the cage and closed the door. I verified the door wasn't moving and was stuck open. Seems to work beautifully. Thanks for taking the time to share this bit of knowledge!
Andy,
This was just the fix I needed. I thought my recirculation door was working as I could hear it when I pressed the button but my windows fogged and frosted like never before. I lowered the lower glove box door, cut the plastic like you showed and pulled the door down and now all is good. I'll add a little duct tape tomorrow when it warms up. Thanks again!
hey jim here, my lovely bride was telling me about this same problem. well as a guy I thought she was nuts or not operating it right untill I was to use the van as I have an older one that i barrowed to my daughter. this video was fantastic. thanks ALOT and GOD BLESS
Thanks for uploading this video. I can confess how annoying it is to have windows fogged up all the time.
2010 broke 3 1/2 year ago. well so far I own it for that long and I just fix that problem today 15 minute job and if I want to go back the outer way,, 2 minute job now because it all ready cut. Thanx for the video sir
Thank you for this video! It helped and saved me a lot of money!
Thank you so much for posting this!! I’ve been trying to figure this out for a while!!! Great video! Sorry you had to do all that work in order to find out it is a 5 minute job but thank you!!!!
Thank you for posting this, it worked perfectly, I just lowered the lower glove box door and cut the plastic mesh like you did, and pulled the re-circ door into the fresh air position and put a couple screws through the plastic housing to keep the door from moving.
Thanks Andy. Saved me HOURS! You rock
Thanks for the info! Fixed my clients issue.

Thanks a lot. My windows are so bad. Just couldn’t figure it out. Obviously something is wrong. Awesome.
Thank you sir for this video. It helps a lot...
Andy ,thank you so much.I live in central NY and i fought the fog problem all winter last year.Your video showed me this quick fix.I was even lazier and just pried the plastic hinges out on the lower glove box instead of removing it ,I just reached in over the top of it.I cut that plastic cage like you showed me and pulled that cover shut.Also put a piece of duct tape on it to make sure it stayed closed.Clear windows now.
I'm happy my video helped you. I hope it will be helpful to others as well.
how is it so far? I've been dealing with them is same issue since last year.
@@ChinosLs It is still great. Can't believe it was such a simple solution.My a.c. still worked over the summer,I was concerned about that but, no problem.
@@billwilliams5479 Thanx for the reply!
I decided to go forward and do the same on mine the same night I commented here, can't believe too it was just a simple fix like this! No more foggy windows since then and usually there suppose to be since I'm in Canada ( Montreal area ) and cold temperature it's at the door now....Flawless Fix!
I have the same problem not sure if this is it but it sure sounds like it. Thanks for your vid.
Thanks for saving me a headache andy
THANK YOU for doing this. My door is stuck in the Fresh Air position, so my A/C Max is not as cold as it should be. If I'm able to get to the Actuator and it requires replacement, I will post a video of how it's done. I have several automotive how-to videos already posted.
Did you do the actuator did you post a video?
Tbanks for the vidio very useful cheers
Awesome Thankyou!
Thank from Québec
Greetings everyone who found my video useful. I need to tell you,, I hit a bump while backing my car slightly uphill and my windows started fogging again. That "bump" knocked the fresh air door shut again. So I manually opened it again accessing thru the lower glove box. This time I used a little duck tape to hold it open (down).
It is normal for your widows to fog up some during heavy rains.
How about if u use those plastic ties ...around the door and keep it down...or put coat hanger from those small holes from one side to other and bend down to keep it lock..tight downward???
I have two town and country vans. They both started fogging up. I suppose this may be a contributing factor in my case, but I think mine is working. I saw another video and the gentleman bought 10 ft of 3M mastic tape and applied it half touching the glass and half covering the plastic trim that rests on the outside of the windshield. In both of my vans the fogging stopped. I can't explain it, but it worked. About 2years now on one van and 1 year on the other. Just hoped this comment may help someone.
@@mikerichett4683 any link to that video?
I removed the fan, and was able to close that door from there. Very simple job! Just remove 2 tabs holding a trim covering under the glove box, then 3 screws hold the fan in place. Then you have access to the door. I closed it, and taped it shut. I don't know why the door wasn't working, but I don't think I have a need to ever recirculate.
good comment. it's the 2nd comment on removing the 3 screws of the blower motor as an alternative to cutting thru the plastic cage.
Thanks for showing this in detail Video the problem of Foggy windows or Steam build up inside dodge Grand caravan 2010, i have same problem in mine ...foggy or steam build up inside my Grand Caravan 2009 SXT 4.0 Engine in winter season and in heavy rain quickly, i thought may be ac dont work issue or ac leak or no ac freaon in system i read on internet??, but will check out this option too and let u know soon if that the case in mine van?
Thanks
thanks for the vid. i assume if you had a pick of some kind you could just pull that door down with cutting into the plastic, right?
yep I agree, but try to be careful not to damage the "door" which is made of a cardboard like material.
I replaced the entire Air Inlet Box. I will be posting a video soon. It's a 12+ hour repair, the entire dash has to be disconnected and partially disassembled.
Can you please let me know how your video is called? I want to fix my grand caravan.
Just a quick question did this trick fix your foggy issue ,plz update ?? Also have u notice ur ac is working fine before this u trick try ???
My foggy window problem was not related to AC. . The problem was no outside air getting in. For sure this trick fixed my foggy window problem.
Yes it fixed it
You could have quite literally remove 3 screws for the blower motor dropped it down and move that door by hand
I looked at another video and you have to take everything out the whole dash and subframe too pos dodge caravan sell it quickly lolI
