Windows fog because the glass is cold and the humidity is high inside the car. It has nothing to do with the age of the car. Try turning the fan up to circulate the air better, and if that doesn't work, turn the AC on -- but turn the heat up so it doesn't get cold. That will do it for sure.

Will the blend door failure cause windows to fog in a car?

No the blend door not functioning will not cause fog; it may however prevent the windows from being defogged or defrosted. If the widows only fog up when the defroster is on, then you either have a coolant leak in the heater core or your air conditioner compressor isn't working (the AC is used to dry the air when the heat is on).

Why do cars warm up when there closed?

Cars warm up to a temperature higher than the surroundings because of the glass in the car windows. This is called the greenhouse effect. High-energy heat waves from the sun are able to pass through the glass of the windows, and this energy is absorbed by the materials inside the car, causing it to heat up. The glass does not let the less energetic heat waves being let off by the warm car pass through the windows. Therefore the heat is "trapped" inside the car, causing it to get warmer than the surroundings.

1. No heat coming out of the defrost duct or wrong heat selection position. 2. fresh air intake blocked or dash switch in the recirculating air position. 3. Heater core is bad if there is an antifreeze smell in the car or antifreeze is coming out the heater lower ducts or on the floor. 4. If car is equipped with internal heat control valve, the valve may be leaking.
