Hi,
We've had wet passenger foot wells ... at first thought it was bad seals letting in rain, as described here at length. But then I noticed after drying out that the darn thing was wet again, despite no rain. Wondering if the a/c (which we've been blasting the heck out of lately) could be the culprit, after noticing that a good bit of the system sits right underneath that spot.
Thanks for any help,
-- Joel
a/c + condensation = wet passenger foot well?

Look for the drain for the evaporator. It might be disconnected or plugged.

some people have reported the wet footwells being caused by the A/C, as was mentioned already, check that the drain hose isn't blocked, and is connected where it's supposed to be.

Great, thanks. Sometimes search is only as good as your vocabulary.Green1 wrote:some people have reported the wet footwells being caused by the A/C, as was mentioned already, check that the drain hose isn't blocked, and is connected where it's supposed to be.
I'll go take a look - Is that drain hose hard to find?

I wish every problem was so simple to solve :). Just like you said, the drain hose wasn't connected. Glad to know that it's there now!
Thanks,
