A/C Leaking..Need Help!!

[peanut07]

Well First Off When I Turn On My A/C Or My Heat It Leaks Water From Under The Dashboard. I Cant Seem To Find Out Where It Is Coming From. Can Anyone help Me Figure It Out.

Its normal, Its suppose to leak out side the car though.

Yeah I Know It Has A Drainage Tube And I Looked At It And It Is Flowing Outside. But It Leaks Like Right At The Clovebox.

There's a plastic box under there that the evaporator coil sits in (it's like the anti heater core). Pull it apart, clean the seams and edges up good, and then put it back together. If that doesn't fix it, take it apart, clean and dry the edges and seams again, apply a small bead of silicone caulking (rtv) to the edges (be careful not to block the drainage tube hole) and put it back together again.

Okay Thanks I Will Have To Try That.

If You Look A The Diagram Part Number 24 Is Like A Metal Bracket. It Covers Two Black Boxes. If I Remove It There is A Gap Between Them. Is That Gap Supose To Be There.

Sorry, Its Not 24 Its Number 12 or 13

Ok, if you're sitting in the passenger seat, 12 and 13 are both in front of you, I don't know which is which, but the one closest to the center of the car has a gap behind it in my car. The other one is tight to the plastic, and I'm not tearing apart the HVAC ducting on my car to find out!

If mine was leaking, I'd start taking it apart until I found out why it was leaking. It should get water in there, pulling humidity out of the air is part of the chilling process, but something is keeping it all from getting through the drain tube.

Yeah the one on the left of mine has a gap but the one on the right has like a half inch gap too. I am afraid to take it apart Cuz I don't want mess up my a/c.

If you can get it apart, you can get it together again. The option is to let it leak, or take it to a shop and pay someone else to fix it.

Sometimes the tube gets gummed up with algae or something, you can try compressed air up the tube from under car to free it up. Happened to me recently, now I have this stink every time I turn on the air, but the water drains out now.
