I got my car washed, and while I was in this drive through wash, I got hot and turned on the blower, no ac, i turned car off because it said sit still. When I got out after the wash, i saw a few suds on the floor. I looked closer and water was coming out of my foot vents!! I have never had trouble with the rain, and big storms at that. The car washes jets were very powerful, could the HVAC system have sucked in water? I hope that was what happened so I don't have to fix anything. I ran the heat for a while to try to dry it out. Sorry if this question is dumb, but this is only my second thread in 4 months, so I hope it will not be assaulted.
BTW, my question was, can this happen, and may there be any other repercussions

Sounds like your a/c drain spout is clogged up with debris..

Thats what I was going to say.

Mybe also rain drain holes blocked with pine needle stacks - the water should not flow down via blower in the first place. Take out the blk cover and peek in, clean.

This is Car forum ? U might look wise if pants on ...

that is what I thought, but it certainly never happened before. and the smell of carwash detergents is very noticible when I turn on the blower. Where would the water have been going before if my drains have been clogged all this time?

Wiking

Maybe it has just recently been blocked full?

The drain hole can be seen from below, pass side. Poke a wire through... get it running down.

slightly off topic. on my cleaning, i removed the blower motor resistor. and it had surface rust on it... what would cause that. everything else nearby is plastic... I was really confused

Bad finish on the materiel: ambient air moisture condensation is everywhere.

Plastic seldom rusts
