Not to start anything but...you basically told him what I already said, even after several others also cosigned. I dont know about the new gen accords, and no I didn't do any research or even open my manual...but I thought I made this clear
. Everything I said was from my own personal experience and has worked so far and you even agreed that he shouldn't recirculate inside air which was his main problem...sheesh...the only thing you told him different was how to do it faster:bowdown:. He asked for suggestions and I gave some, so dont pick @ my post:nono:, its not like I told him something that would break his car. Good day sir:thumbup:
Sorry for beechin'
Edit: I only said he doesn't NEED A/C cuz nobody likes burning gas unless they have to

you don't need A/C on. it just makes it faster when you want to de-fog. what i do is, i crack one fo the rear windows a bit, and i turn on everything. it makes it faster, and the windows usually stay clear.

Do some research before you tell people misinformation.
Heating and air conditioning are two separate systems. The A/C system removes excess moisture from the air producing cool dry air, that mixes with the heated air and then mixes with the inside air and reduces the overall moisture in your interior. Also make sure to not have your car on recirculate, the outside air is also more than likely less humid than inside. Your windows fog up because your body produces moisture, as does your breath. Since the inside is cooler than the outside the moisture is attracted to the cooler surface(the windows) and condenses from vapor to droplets. Having dry air will pull the water back off of the windows.
In cars with automatic climate control when you press the defrost button, the A/C will automatically come on, there's a reason it does.
If you really want to defrost your car fast, turn your A/C on as cold as it can go, your windows will defrost WAY fast, since you are equalizing the temperatures, and drying the air out.
If turning the A/C on does no good, then something is wrong with your A/C system, more than likely the air dryer.

I've tried it WITHOUT the re-circulator on and my windows haven't fogged up yet 
I haven't used the a/c trick yet, but if they start to fog up for some reason I will try that. Thanks for all the help guys!
