Car Forum / Honda Cars / June 20051999 Odyssey water under carpet...
In 2004, I installed a DVD system and when removing the seats and carpet (to hide the wires) noticed that the foam backing of the carpet on the front passenger floor (near the door) was saturated with water. So, I removed the entire carpet to dry. Yesterday, I was vacuuming the vehicle and thought I would inspect. I lifted off the kick plat e moulding to lift up the carpet and sure enough it is wet again. Anyone know where the water is coming from? I'm guessing the A/C or heater core, but cannot find the source of the leak. I have searched the net and found a link that the pillar was leaking water, but this may not be the case. Thanks It could be condensation from the evaporator. If so the drain tube is blocked. This usually leads to mold and smell coming from the air vents. Find the drain tube and clear it. It should be near and below where the A/C hoses go thru the firewall.... > In 2004, I installed a DVD system and when removing the seats and carpet > (to hide the wires) noticed that the foam backing of the carpet on the [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Thanks Absolutely... the problem is that many times after clearing the drain... it will become blocked again with a muddy type substance that is the result of decomposing leaves and seeds that have made their way throough the ventilation intake over the years. Actually, the one way I have stopped the repeated clogging is to actually fill the plenum up with water throught that same drain, in an attempt to rinse it out good. The only other way is to take the plenum apart to clean as a last resort. Professor www.telstar-electronics.com Any diagrams of this hose and its location?

There are 2 other potential areas. You never mentioned if you have a sunroof? Even though the '99 - '04 Odys didn't offer a factory sunroof, many dealers were installing aftermarket units. If you have one, the drain tubes could be clogged there as well. The other area that comes to mind is the windshield. Here again, if you had one recently replaced and it wasn't properly installed this would most definitely be a trouble spot. Since you don't mention if you are the orignal owner, a windshield could have replaced before you purchased the van. So you may want to have it checked? Good luck Where does this hose travel in the body? Where can I get diagrams?

You must get under the vehicle and look from the outside to locate. When you do find it... run something through it and get ready for a shower... LOL Be careful when poking through the blockage... the evaporater core is close by inside the plenum... and a gorilla touch could get you a puncture in it. I suggest using something wood instead of metal to poke with. Professor www.telstar-electronics.com > Where does this hose travel in the body?

I suspect that the liquid right around the driver's side for the rear seat may have been from the rear window washer. I will have to see if the line is loose somewhere. The driver's floor.... don't know... but I never have done anything to the sunroof drain. For that matter I don't know where to lube the sunroof itself... but that's another thread... I guess., SignatureKWW > This drain is normally located on the passenger side. You must get > under the vehicle and look from the outside to locate.
