ugh i was driving to work today, and i see water dripping from under the passenger side...behind the glove department. does anyone know where the waters comin from. i think its the a/C

 

ttt

 

its most likely ur a/c water. im betting ur a/c water hose behind the passenger side tire is clogged so its leaking out of a vent or something inside.

what are the steps i take to fix this?

 

i too have this crap problem. where do u begin on fixing this? u say its behind the passenger wheel, so should i take the barrier off and where do i go about that to unclogging the problem?&gt;

Try this: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=555977

 

If you were running your AC and its humid outside, the condenser and lines tend to freeze on the outside occasionally. The dripping water is probably just condensation. I wouldn't worry about it.

 

ok i had my AC on today and it started dripping again. so i stuck my hand under there, and pulled a latch, then all this water started dripping out! it was nice cool water. im not too worried, but i know somethings isnt right. this shouldnt be that big a deal right?

well u should sorta worry cuz u dont want water IN your car. u mite wanna try sticking a thin snake up the a/c drain hose and see if u come accross any clogs

I've only cleaned the A/C drain tube on my CRX's so I'm not sure
if integras are the same or not. But I don't remeber a "latch" anywhere
under the dash that would let water out of the evaporator. It must just be a coincidence. the only "lever/latch" under there would be "the air mix door" and that has nothing to do with water clogged inside the evaporator.
And the heater control valve is in the engine bay.
The reason the evaporator is filling with water is BECAUSE the DRAIN
tube is CLOGGED. The only way I was able to unclog it was to remove drain tube from the nipple on the bottom of the evap. and clean out clog
from inside the tube opening and the the nipple on the bottom of the evap.

 

oh thanks for the feedback, but were exactly is the AC drain tube?

 

ttt does anyone know how to get to the breather hose?

 

Breather hose?
I thought your problem was the a/c drain tube?

Ok, You should get a helms.
I've only ever done this in my 1G CRX.
So it might not be exact. Do you know what the evap is? and what it looks like?
it's INSIDE the car against the firewall. On a CRX it's behind the glove box. I think on a teg it's closer to the center of the car. Once you identify the evaporator. find where it bolts to the firewall. and identify the bottom edge.
Where it meets the firewall at the bottom edge there should be a black rubber tube exiting bottom of evap and going into firewall. Get a bucket
or cup to put below where the tube is. You are going to pull the tube off the nipple at the bottom of the evaporator. when you DO. ALL the water inside will gush onto the interior carpet, so have a bucket or something to catch the water as you pull the tube.Getting to the tube to get a grip on it
might be A PITA.
That's enough for now. Go check it out and tell me what you find.
Can you identify the things I mentioned above?

 

so its not behind the passenger wheel? will it unclog by itself?

 

It is under the dash behind the center console and glove box.
NO IT WILL NOT unclog itself.
