Car Forum / Honda Cars / August 2005Water coming from under the dash while a/c is running
I have water coming from under the dash on both sides of the floor when the a/c is running. It makes a noise when I make turns and the water comes onto the floor. Can you tell me what this is and how to fix it? >I have water coming from under the dash on both sides of the floor when the >a/c is running.

You need to find the drain outlet and then use a wire to clean it out. -------------- Alex My son has the same problem with his 97 Civic. LOTS of water comes from the passenger side dashboard. Haven't noticed any noise. We attempted to clean the drain line but didn't notice any obstruction. We still haven't solved this and would appreciate more input on where the obstruction would likely be found.

Are you sure there is nothing blocking the drain? if you hear noise, it is probably bad news because it means the fan is hitting water and will probably short out shortly there after. A friend of mine had this happen twice. After I showed him how to clean the drain, he had no more problems. -------------- Alex IS his civic an SI? does it have the moon/sun roof. chances are what is happening if it does have the roof, is that the drain hose for the roof has separated behind the panel in the foot well. Easy test is to open the roof and carefully pour water from a bottle into the suspected side (if you look you'll see the drain holes in the front corners of the roof frame) it's easier to have someone check the floor/panel area as you do this. if the water is leaking from the tube, you'll know an soon. check the other side whle you're at it. if you don't want to fix the tube (trust me it's a pain ITA) just silicon the drain hole on that side up, unless of course the other side does it well. I know it sounds complicated or confusing, best of luck > My son has the same problem with his 97 Civic. LOTS of water comes > from the passenger side dashboard. Haven't noticed any noise.

Who knows! We replaced it with a piece of 1/2" vacuum hose and are closely monitoring to see if the problem returns. His car doesn't have a sun roof but thanks anyway.

I've found that many people will forget to think of that one. I hope your vacuum hose works out > Well on another inspection, we quickly determined that the hose that > wasn't stopped up the last time we checked was completely missing. Who > knows!

Can you tell me what this is and how to fix it? --------------------------- On CR-V and Odyssey (at least the earlier ones) you can unplug the fan motor, remove three screws, and the whole blower fan falls out in your hand. Then you can look inside with a good flashlight and a mirror to see where the green growth is blocking the drain hole. Shoot some Lysol in there if there has been growth. 'Curly' |
