If the air conditioner needs freon will that not allow the defroster not to work? Air is blowing but nothing happening, windows fogging up while driving.

No, my A/C hasn't worked in 5 years, but my defroster works fine. You must not have any heat either, right?

You may have rainwater getting into the heater box from the cowl area and turning to steam or your A/C drain is plugged. A plugged drain is common on jeeps. When it gets bad, the carpet on the passenger's side will get wet.

No, it'll have drained down the the bottom of the heater box. There is a drain for this and on some jeeps, it flows into the frame and can get plugged real easily. On my WJ, there is a little rubber snout sticking out of the box on the engine compartment side. IDK where yours is.
