Blocked heater core, faulty heater valve, disconnected connection to the heater valve.
most likely your heater controls run via vacuum lines. cracked or broken lines could cause this.
Look for a leak in the heater/defrost system. Most times it is caused by a minor water leak in the heater system. Steve
A leaky heater core can do that. Also if the AC is not operative, the defrost mode can't dry the cabin air.
If defrost is on it could be your compressor going bad. See what happens when you leave off defrost or disconnect your compressor. It only controls defrost and air conditioning. I had the same problem

Check the thermostat or the radiator. The thermostat could be sticking or the radiator could be plugged.

The heater in a 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue may be stuck on defrost due to a malfunctioning or stuck blend door actuator, which controls the flow of air between the defrost, heat, and AC settings. Additionally, a vacuum leak in the HVAC system or a faulty climate control module could also cause this issue. It's advisable to check for any vacuum line issues and inspect the actuator for proper operation. If needed, consulting a mechanic can help diagnose and resolve the problem.
