Just a little FYI....

So, the other day while cleaning my car, I was vacuuming the passenger side of the car, I put my hand under the front seat( from the back, rear seat side) and my finger just slipped under the carpet and I came back wet ( there is a joke in there but I'm keeping it clean )...so I investigated further and found out that the whole passenger side under that carpet had its own swimming pool...ugh.. I was like WTF !!!! Where in the hell is this water coming from. So I got my wet vac and started sucking up the water while thinking..did I leave a window open or something...but the seats are dry and so is the carpet and mats...just the underneath the carpet had water...anyways to cut to the chase, the A/C condenser drain hose came loose..don't ask how cause I don't know....

So for future reference If you find a swimming pool under your passenger side of your ride...Its just a hose.....

Good to know. Were you able to fix it yourself?

A continuation of your FYI, the evaporator is what's under the dash and has a the condensation drain hose, the condenser is in front of the radiator...

yeah..simple fix..just pull the panel out by the passenger side....right by the left foot if someone were sitting and the hose is right there...

thanks for the correction on the condenser/ evaporator mix up...
