AC Problem....Please help
My AC unit started some crazy stuff today. It is leaking ice cold water on the passenger's feet. This can be good when it is REAL hot but I need to fix it.
I thought maybe at first it might be low on Freon and freezing the core but I topped it off and no better.
What about the drain for this unit? It could be stopped up. Can someone please help. Hate having my floor wet.
BTW...This is in a 99.

In the engine bay, next to the passenger firewall. You should be able to clear it out with no problem, although some have reported you need to be a contortionist to do it. :p:

The air conditioning condensor has a hose drain that gets pinched shut or somehow plugged. I had the dealer do the work under warranty. This problem is common in C5s.
Do not allow this condition to continue or the water will get into the passenger footwell fuse panel and you will have major problems. :mad

Thanks for all the help you guys...
I went out there last night and pinched on that hose about 10 times and it let loose with probably a quart of water.
