so my friends car makes a funny noise everytime you turn the a/c on and today i noticed that it leaks alot of water from under the dash.. i was thinking it has something to do with the whole a/c system because i stuck my hand under there and it was all wet. i think its missing a seal or something. i just think its weird because it makes this weird ass sound too. anyone ever had this problem b4?

 

Is it leaking cold water or hot coolant?

 

cold.

 

when i was under the dash i got my shirt wet and usally if you get water on your shirt it drys up without any stains but when this wet spot dried up it left a stain..

 

something i found on g2ic.com, i really think that this isnt the problem but im gonna go ahead and try it out.

1st go to Acura or Honda and order qty 8 of part number 91608-SJ6-003. It is a small white rubber seal. They cost about $ 2.50 each 2nd remove the wiper arms and the wiper motor cowl. The wiper cowl is the long black panel under the wiper arms. Pop out the black circles and unscrew the white clips. You may also have to pull out the plastic pins under the rubber seal on the firewall side of the cowl. The panel is cumbersome. Use caution not to break the ends near the hood hinges. After you remove the cover there is another black cowl on the passenger side. This cowl covers the passenger cabin air intake. The leak is coming from the black plastic push screws that hold that cover on. When you remove the cover you can see the seals in the holes that the push screws were in. The rubber seal dry-rots over time and the sides split open. Water leaks in one drop at a time and adds up quickly. Once you have replaced the seals you should be leak free for another 9-10 years.

 

I don't think that is your problem. When your A/C is operating normally, the condensation will drip down a tube to under the car. This tube can get stopped up, it did on my old Camaro and would drip icy cold water onto the passenger's feet. You need to trace the water up under the dash or from the condensor till you find where the tube is loose/broken/clogged and repair that.

The leak you said above would make the water "room temperature" and happen all the time, not just with the A/C on.

Can you define "funny noise"?

 

thanks..


no i cant desribe it. i will listen more carefully tomorrow.

 

i second that!!! had a monte carlo do that as well

 

Your a/c drain hole is plugged....I just fixed a nissan the other day with the same problem.

 

so what do i need to do to fix it? someone told me that its clogged somewhere... i dunno. if anyone lives around NN and knows their A/C and doesnt mind taking a look at it i would be thankfull.
