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...
