Default AC froze up? or something else?
I noticed that when i shut my truck off there is what looks like water coming from a small tube out of the firewall into the engine compartment, only thing i can think of is it has something to do with the AC? I have had the heater on but not the ac.

Just because you have the heat on doesn't mean condensation won't occur.

If you have the defroster on it runs the AC to dry the air out and clear the windows even though it is on heat.

As long as it is clear and not red or green like your anti-freeze, all is good.
