i was driving to work with my girl today with the a/c on (since its about 117 here in Phx.) and i made a left turn and i heard a weird noise under the glove box.
Then, a few seconds later water starts dripping out and it got all over my girls foot(it was pretty funny). Then a few miles later another turn and more water.
A few days ago i took out my floor mat and noticed my carpet was wet on it started smelling after a while, i cleaned it but it happend again!!
I dont know if its cause of the a/c i havnt seen that with out the a/c.
Does anybody have an idea or knows of someone that does?
any help appreciated thanks!

a/c usually is gas, the heater core could be leaking, or somebody ripped the heaters and dash out and half assed it. Check behind the battery in the engine bay to see if that area is sealed. Are you losing coolant? Check for HIV and post pics of under the glove box, facing the rear of the car next time your girl detects water.

it is the ac drain ..
i think your ac hose might be clugged...
that happened to me once

x2, a clogged hose will force it to leak onto the passenger floor board, soaking the carpet on humid days, happens the same way to a lot of different cars.

It is located near the front swaybar on my 2000 civic on the passenger side, it runs up into the car and to the cooling fins, which is where the condensation collects. Its a solid rubber looking hose that has two holes on the side, it should be easy to spot, because youll probably be like... wtf where does that come from?

MDM

lol.. aight ill go home and look and see if its clogged or sumthing.. thanks, is that the only thing that might be the problem??

The tube may have broken inside the dash, they can become brittle over time, removal of the glove box is also an easy way to check the housing for cracks/leaks.

yea i was thinking of removing it but i didnt want to be late to work but will be romoved when i get a chance!

x2 and also x2 the hose being clogged. if the heater core was leaking you would smell coolant like crazy. also you said it only happens when you make a turn, if it was the heater core it would leak all the time.

Yes, it is either the hose has a hole, or it is clogged and flooding the climate module and it is seeping out the sides of the holder.
