You don't know hot til you've stacked hay under a tin roof when its 112* on the ground, in the shade.

i think my nards melted into my boots.
rich, if you had the defrost on it will kick the ac compressor on, so that could beone reason its sweating. if not that, you might be leaking compressor oil/refrigerant.

Been there, multiple times. Strangely, I don't dislike that as much as having to do my regular job in 90+ degrees.

I was defrosting the windshield, nothing is leaking, system works just fine. I guess I just didn't understand the AC compressor would kick on with the defroster in heat mode.

at a glance it does sound silly. the compressor kicks on and cools the air which condenses the water (humidity) out of it, then it pases over the heater core to warm it up to your desired temp. it basically makes the defrost much more effective when you are trying to deFOG the inside of the windshield.
