Broken OBC Reader/Window Fogging Issue

[Beastolizer]

Ok, so my OBC reader is messd up. The problem with it is that it will not read the correct temperature and sometimes it does this weird thing where it almost "spaz's" out and just starts displaying everything really fast. What should I do to fix this?

My other problem is with some inside window fogging. My car keeps ALWAYS getting fog on the inside of the windows. This makes it really hard to see and I have to keep a rag in there so wipe it down. What is my problemo? I cant seem to find. There is no apparent leak, but a very small amount of water under my passenger seat carpet from an incident where I left my window down while it rained for a bit.

As far as the obc problem, the thermometer can be replaced but check first that it's where it is supposed to be, and the switch on the turnsignal stalk maybe malfunctioning causing the obc to go through the functions rapidly. What does the temp readout do weird?

[Beastolizer]

it like shows all these different numbers but it goes like really fast, so that I cant even make them out. but it will sporadically do these.

i had a problem like that with my clock if i tapped it it would go back to normal. i just replaced it. problem solved. fogging is probably from the water on the floor evaporating. i had that problem in my catera when the rain water would find its way in the car some home. germans should be ashamed for making the shitiest cadillac ever

lol. Im hoping thats the only problem for my fogging. trouble is, it will sometimes do it even when its cold out, so im not sure why its evaporationg?

I'm thinking about just buying a new obc piece for that $15.50...

It evaporates in the cold. I had sheets of ice on my floor and fog on the windows. The best is when you get frozen rain drops on your windshield in the morning. I remember learning something about how water can skip the liquid state in chemistry a while ago

My guess it the turn signal stalk as well for the random flickering. I would also undo the plug on the back of the obc and re-seat it a few times to make sure you have good contacts.

That won't fix the incorrect temperature, you'll need to buy one of my super-duper, temp sensors for that.

My OBC did that and I took it apart and put it back together and now it works fine. Be careful as the display is actually like 3 or 4 pieces.

I have a similar fogging problem so that's how I found this thread.

Frequent fogging of the inside windows will be from water leaking into the car or from a leaking heater core. The most common cause of water leaking into the car is blocked sunroof drains. But bad door or window seals are possibilities. More rarely moisture can enter the car from the trunk or engine bay.
