[DeTomaso] DeTomaso] Fwd: gauges that fog during use

[pantdino at aol.com]

My car lived the first 16years of its life in Kentucky, which does see 
some humidity
The last 20 years have been in Los Angeles, which sees almost none.
My car's heater core is shut out of the cooling system with auxiliary 
valves on both lines to it for 10-15 yrs and I have never seen any 
moisture anywhere in the car.

 So I don't think the fogging implies any problems really.

I find it hard to believe that any automotive gauge is built literally
air-tight. This means that over time the gauge interior will assume the
temperature and humidity of he ambient atmosphere. When a car lives in 
a hot and
humid area I'm not surprised if when you start driving the car and turn 
on the
AC fog will appear on the glass. Do people in dry areas see less of 
this?

Tomas, living in a generally cold and wet area...

 There is probably no individual 
in the
Pantera community  as  knowledgeable  and experienced with Pantera 
electronics
as Jon.

problem.
My problem and many others are from high humidity. This does not 
necessarily
indicate that there is a coolant leak in the passenger compartment.

wattage /or high humidity would cause any condensation.
