mchill07 Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 The other day a friend pointed out that water was dripping from the passenger hush panel. When I pulled it down I found that the evaporator box is sweating or condensing and the water is dripping of of the bottom. The Drain is not clogged so Im confused as to why this would happen. A/C works great. I am the second owner of the car and was told the A/C has never needed service, which means it would have the factory R-12 charge in it.

White93z34 Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 The sweating is normal, however it should not be dripping on your interior. either a seal or some sort has failed or the drain is not draining properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carkhz316 Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 ^This, or it is just getting that darn cold to chill the case like a beer. Ice cold AC then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitzel Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 I had that problem, turns out the blend door had been dislodged from its normal position internally, and heated air (from the heater core) was being liberated into the evaporator compartment, causing not only the AC to work much harder, but also, the whole thing to thaw out at a far greater rate. In short, it was generating so much excess water that the drain just couldn't keep up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
