Please Help: Air Conditioner Leaking

The moisture forms enough to drip into a box and should go out a small tube to exit the car. But, if this tube has debris in it, i.e., leaves, paper,or whatever, the water is trapped and starts to grow moldy. I do not know where this tube is located to check-it is usually traceable from under the dash. At most you should only have to take the glove box out just like you were going to change the filter. But if you're not sure the dealer should fix this under warranty. Because, stuff should not get in there to clog it and if it is they need to find out why. Check your intake at the base of the windshield on the outside where the slots are-there should be a screen in it to protect from large stuff getting in there and if you have a filter in your ventilation make sure it's not falling apart-that's the only reason I can think you'd find paper in there. good luck.

Thats your exact problem. The pipe either is clogged or got disconected and water is now leaking to the vehicle isntead of out the vehicle.

So you guys are saying I can fix this myself? It's behind the glove box? How do I remove the glove box?

i am 99% sure that it is just: 1) open glove box 2) gently squeeze at rear of top of glove box 3) gently pull glove box out 4) then you will be looking at your cabin air filter location and if i remember right, your cooler box 4) make sure that there is nothing large sitting at the bottom of the cooler box 4) make sure that the drain hose is going through the appropriate hole in the firewall behind the cooler box... i think that should cover it, sorry that i do not have pictures...

I don't think it's behind the glove box. It is in the middle of the dash behind the heater, A/C knobs.

Tore it all apart (the glove box) all I found was the hose that the air drains out of and water did pour out of it. How do I get that part of the dash off?

This should give me access to be able to clean the coils also.
