Water Leak - AC?
From : smccorkl
Q: over the last week i have been getting a lot of water appearing on my passenger side floor of my 2003 dodge dakota. its that bad that i can scoop out a handful of water. i dont know where it is coming from but i suspect that maybe the ac condensor drain is clogged since the water has been apearing during periods of no rain. can anyone direct me where to look that i might find this clog .

my dak is going in tomorrow for the same thing. i found out that theres a tsb for the dak that tells the dealer to seal up the area in the firewall with waterproof sealant when a customer brings a truck in with the wet floor. this happened last year and they couldnt find anything i didnt know about the tsb back then. took it in a little while ago for a tranny fluid change and asked about the leak everything was dry at the time; they said it had to be wet for them to do anything. nows their big chance. theyd better replace the carpet too because it stinks to high hell now that its been soaked for the better part of a month. joe black 03 dakota 5.9 r/t cc calypso green 93 mustang 5.0 lx hatch with a few goodies dan sanders dansanders@attno spam.net wrote in im having the same problem... wet on the floor and no visible leaks. is this hose in the same area on a 96 1500 speedo cable core great idea flexible. i had same problem in my vintage toyota pu water on floor. found drain hose at bottom of a/c-heater box fell off kicked off when i stretched and my foot went behind the box! confirm hose is still connected. ken on sun 22 aug 2004 021147 gmt transurgeon nobulltrans@mchsi.dotcom wrote a piece of the center of a speedo cable works very well under the hood .. up on the firewall under the a/c evap coil area look for a hose or tube about 1/2 to 3/4 inch in diameter hanging down and open. poke a hanger or something up in it. appearing on my passenger side floor of my 2003 dodge dakota. its that bad that i can scoop out a handful of water. i dont know where it is coming from but i suspect that maybe the ac condensor drain is clogged since the water has been apearing during periods of no rain. can anyone direct me where to look that i might find this clog .
