Whenever it's raining outside, I found that if I don't have the A/C on, the front windshield blower will blow hot air while the others are blowing cold air.... Is there a humidity sensor or it's activated by the wipers...

Thanks

When you're in Auto Mode, it'll defrost the humid in the car. The answer is yes, there is humidity sensor in the car.

Auto mode doesnt work too well if it's pouring - i find it tends to get stuffy

The humidity sensor actually operates as a glass(surface) condensation sensor that detects and activates the A/C for condensation control on the glass windshield.

The sensor operates by capacitance variance over RH. The sensor operates indiurectly to cover RH in the auto other than for the surface glass condensation. That being surface (glass) versus airborne convective RH in the car.

yes there is a sensor with the extended AC option. Extend is the one where you can select two different temperatures for driver's and passanger's side....anyway, most of you guys have it....

IMHO the sensor works great. I do not have fogged windows ever. Works perfect

I do not have it because im missing the extended AC option. :(

No problems anyway because I'm running the AC all the time:)
