Default air conditioner problems

Hello
When I run my air it floods the passenger side floor board. Can anyone tell me what is wrong.

When my wife rides in the car and I run the AC she bawls a lot and says "It's FREEZING in here!!!"...Never noticed her tears to flood the floor....so my bet would be your AC drain hose is plugged.....You'll have to raise the car to get to it....It's on the passenger side at the bottom of the firewall...You'll need to use a stiff wire or something similar and carefully clean whatever debris is plugging it......
It's normal for your AC to create moisture during operation, this moisture has to go somewhere, thus the drain hose.....

If you can reach it well enough to pull it completely off, you can cut the "crimp" off of the end which will catch less junk and keep it from stopping up again.

I had the same problem. Be sure to get it to drain well. My body control module under the floor got wet and now am having problems with the security light staying on.
