Water spilling on to floor mats in 2000 Misubishi Mirage?

Question

Condensation is dripping onto the driver and passenger side floor mats. It seems to be leaking from a black box under the dash but I don't know what's causing it or how to fix it. I live in Arizona and use the AC everyday and I had this same problem last year. The spilling started yesterday, a day after it started getting humid here, maybe preparing for rain? Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Answer 1

Check the drain hose on the fire wall and see if it is stopped up if so take some soap and clean it out , Also make sure that the hose is connected to the A/C on the inside for drainage, hope this helps.

Answer 2

There is a drain hose or channel for water that condenses onto the evaporator to drain onto the road outside. It is plugged . Clean it out or have a shop put it on the lift and clean it out!

Answer 3

If it is just water there isn't really anything you can do to stop it other than don't use the ac. As long as it isn't putting so much water that it could soak down to the metal under the carpet you can just ignore it. With so much heat it should evaporate before it would mildew.

Answer 4

I would check the drain hose first if its not that sounds like u gotta leking heater core which is located in that black box your talkin about

Answer 5

The drain tube is probably plugged take it in and get it cleaned

Answer 6

Maybe check into the heating core... I had to replace mine in my Mitsubishi Diamonte... It was very expensive.

Answer 7

check and see if your drain tube is melted together or clogged.
Under vehicle approx where you see leak, made of rubber

Answer 8

ac condensor is leaking (or something to do with the ac) might just be sweating from the ac.
