^there is no way to stop the a/c compressor when in defrost mode. Pushing the recirc button will keep the a/c compressor cycling on/off but this is a trick on cold mornings to warm the air up quicker since you are recirculating it.

For those that don't believe the a/c compressor is cycling on/off with defrost selected, let your car idle with defrost turned on and you should hear it. Also, this is why some people have idle issues with upgraded cams when defrost is on.

very interesting issue you had - the actual fresh air door being plugged. Good thing for others to check.

You know if you keep the inside of your windows REALLY clean the moisture has less stuff to stick to.

Keep your inside windows really clean and it cuts this problem down but about 70%

Those vent visors things that let yo crack your window just a tad also helps quit a bit.
