Neve heard of 'spider spikes'. What are they?

I thought about getting studded snow tires but I spend most of my driving on
the highway. For the few times I would need them, the noise wasn't worth it.

Thanks, I thought I remembered seeing a relay in the service manual that
only worked on blower High. Was out on the road a few times today and the
blower was working properly on all speeds. Will see if the problem comes
back and trace it out then.

City did a great job of clearing the roads. We had about 14"(hard to say
with all the wind drifts). Hardest part was getting out of the driveway
after being plowed in.

 Are you sure your fresh air intake wasn't clogged with snow or you didn't
have the RECIRC button on? That'll make 'er fog up and possibly overheat the
fan.

The A/C seems to work in any temperature. When I get in the car with wet
clothes and the windows fog, just turning on the A/C with the heat clears
them right up - just like the MAX DEFROST setting clears the windshield..

 A/C doesn't work when outside temperature is below 40
degrees or so. The refrigerant is so cold that it never
vaporizes and therefore the A/C can't work. For this reason,
the A/C compressor is disabled. I have a Ford (in addition
to my Saturn). Driving along the other day in cold
temperatures, the A/C compressor finally kicked in after
about 30 minutes of driving. I think the under hood
temperature finally got warm enough to allow the compressor
to run.

If you are having problems with fogging windows, be sure you
are not using the recirculate mode. Bringing in cool outside
air and heating it should still drop the humidity enough to
help keep the windows clear.
