The Meineke Car Care Center on Pleasant View Road in New Cumberland will clear your vision when your defoggers don't work.

It's hard enough seeing to drive with the recent weather but when your defoggers fail to clear your windshield or back window, then it becomes almost impossible. Yet that's what has happened to your car. You got into it this morning and the defroster didn't defrost.

Lifewire.com sympathizes, saying, "Automotive defrosting systems are essential in cold weather, but they're also indispensable when the combination of humidity and temperature fogs up your windows. When your defroster stops working, reduced visibility can lead to hazardous driving conditions."

Lifewire adds, "There are two types of car defrosters, so tracking down and fixing this type of problem requires a different process depending on whether it's the front or rear defroster that stopped working."

Among the reasons a front defroster stops working:

  • Broken or stuck controls. "The buttons or dial you use to switch between hot and cold and switch which vents the air comes out of can become stuck or break. Some of these use gears or cables that can jam or get pinched," lifewire.com says.
  • Vent and air intake problems
  • Coolant problems

Problems that could cause a rear defogger to fail:

  • Broken defroster grid. "Rear defrosters rely on a thin grid of wires affixed to the window glass. If the wires are physically broken, the defroster won't work," lifewire.com says.
  • Worn out grid
  • Broken defroster connections
  • Bad defroster switch or fuse
