2002 Grand Caravan 3.3 L V6 A/C auto. It's humid and hot here in AZ, so the A/C is on a lot, I never see any condensation dripping from under the van, and I have noticed a new very wet spot on passenger carpet up front, could there be a condensation leak into the van, if so where's the first place to start looking? Thanks in advance for any help!

 

I suppose if I had that problem, I'd be looking for a plugged drain.

 

Thank you for the reply. To be more specific, I was hoping someone had experience with this problem, and could tell me where to first look, ie: do I have to remove the right bottom of the dashboard, or would it be more likely that the lower end of the drain is up in the rear of the engine compartment, etc. Thanks again for any help.

 

Hope this helps.
SUBJECT:
HVAC Drain Water (AC Condensate) Leaks Under Passenger Side Carpet
OVERVIEW:
This bulletin involves installing a HVAC drain tube O-ring.
MODELS:
**2004 - 2006 (CS) Pacifica**
2001 - 2006 (RS) Town & Country/Caravan/Voyager

NOTE: This bulletin applies to vehicles built on or before December 16, 2005 (MDH

SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
The customer may describe a wet front passenger floor or floor carpet. This condition may
be due to water (A/C condensate) from the HVAC assembly drain tube.
DIAGNOSIS:
Verify the passenger side front floor or carpet is wet. Check the source of the water leak.
As A/C condensate leaves the HVAC drain tube, it may run back along the outside of the
drain tube, past the seal, and under the passenger side front floor carpet. If the HVAC
assembly drain tube is the cause of the water leak, perform the Repair Procedure.
