most of the time it is because the heayer core is leaking allowing steam from the coolant escape to the interior of the vehicle.





That is not the correct answer. If a heater core were leaking, there would be antifreeze on the floor of the vehicle and you could smell it. The condensation in from natural evaporation of dampness in the car. In the Winter this often happens because there is water in or on the floor mats from snow and ice. Turn the AC on and turn UP the temperature like you were turning up the heat. That will take the moisture out of the air in the vehicle and help dry the floor.

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).
