hope its just the drain plug, cause 900$ is enough for a new ac all together. goodluck, and park your car in the sun for a couple hours with the doors open and all, to dry up that water before it gets smelly!

you know the condenser lays in between the radiator and the motor?
crawl under your car and look at he condensor. the drain plug is on the bottom. looks like a spinner kinda nut thingy. (LOL)
just unscrew that and stick a screwdriver upthere and unclog it.
i could do it better than i can tell you how to do it. lol

Say what???????The tube is in the heater box inside the car thats why the water is inside.How would water get from the front of the car to the inside??The heater box is located under the dash on the passenger side what happens is when the air is blowing threw the heater core it creates condensation which in turn turns to water and usually it just drains out the tube.The condensor between the radiator in the front is full of freon and there is no drain on it so I wouldnt try that.But look under you dash and see if you can locate the tube thats running outside and stick something up thre it to try to clean it out and it should eliviate your problem.I think the tube comes out under the passengers door somewere but I'm not positive on that Someone else might chime in with the exact location

i dont know why im answering you but here it goes

1) he obviously isnt using the heater
2) if his condensor is plugged it would force the condensation back into the car (floorboard)
3)it can be fixed from underneath the car
4) i had this issue already and fixed it.

dude i dont know why you think im so stoopid.
im not okay?

Baby I never said you were stupid but I just dont think people should answer tech ?s if they dont know the answers thats all.The heater core and the ac are both in the same heater box and how would condensation get forced back in the car?????Thru what the freon lines???I sorry but your just wrong on this, the water is from the core getting cold and dripping in the heater box.And stupid is spelled STUPID
