Ac leaking water on passenger side floor
So I have a 96 Ram Van 2500 5.2 engine and I took a long trip to Nashville and back over the last week. On the way back I noticed the carpet on the passenger side was wet and a constant drip coming from under the glove box.
Do you know what I should check here is there a AC drain hole that may be plugged or something? any help is greatly appreciated thanks y’all! |
Yep. That is exactly what I would suspect. Now, where is it? That is a VERY good question. A bright flashlight, and possibly a mirror will make searching it out easier. (from under the hood.)
|
It's easier to find if you first run the AC for a bit until it starts dripping, then you can follow the water trail.

Thanks for the details here. I dug around behind the AC Unit but there is not any space there really to see if there is a drain tube or not. Im thinking of taking the Doghouse off today and seeing if I can look behind it any better that way.
I ran the AC for about 10 minutes yesterday and didnt see any dripping yet so maybe need to run it for 30 min or so to start seeing it. Thanks! |
The drain *might* be visible from under the hood, or even from under the van on the passenger side there.

I found this but it’s towards the front of the vehicle right above the blower motor which may be a weird spot for a drain... does this look like it? |
Drain will be at the lowest point of the heater box, VERY near where the evaporator core is. That would be a REALLY bad place for a drain....... (unless you own stock in the company that makes the blower motors......)

Yeah I did some searching around and couldnt find it still. I was reading this article https://www.autozone.com/repairguide...96b43f802e3104 and they mention under Step 10 a drain tube so it looks like it is behind the ac housing back there where I have to remove it to see the drain lines...
|
So after some further investigation it looks like the photo i posted is of the drain tube. So it is on the front lowest point of the AC Box. It drains just behind the AC blower motor which seems like a bad spot. But anyway after a 40 minute drive this weekend I stopped the van and looked unneather and sure enough water was dripping right out of that location. Needless to say it looks like the issue is fixed.
|
nice, what did you do to fix it? Blow compressed air into the tube?
