air conditioner drain

Can anyone help me with a problem I am having with my 2003 Town and Country
van. The air conditioner drains inside the van on the passenger side
floor. I have checked the drain at the firewall and it seems to be clear
of any debris. Has anyone else had this problem?

 

While I have not had this problem I can make some suggestions.

First, with the van parked, run the A/C for a while. See if there is
any condensed water comming out of the drain under the van. If not,
then your drain hose may simply be plugged. The water is then backing
up the hose, and draining into the passenger compartment.

Not sure how you would go about unplugging the hose, but this is about
the cheapest fix in this scenario!

If the drain is NOT plugged, then you may have a crack in the plastic
ducting that would normally direct the water to the drain. There are
various sealants that you could use to seal up the crack (like
seal-all, etc). This would be a bit of a pain in the neck, but can
still be done.

Other than that, not sure.

 

If the van is equipped with a Hepa filter the problem could be due to the
filter being very dirty and the water is backing up at the locking seal.
Look under the glove box and see if there is a tap to release the filter.

There is a couple more here with that problem to.
As said check drain and filter and also check if the rubber flipper is
still on the end of drain.
If no flipper it may be getting backpressure on the road keeping it
from draining.
Does it drain sitting still.
Does it only do it on the road running?

The newer vans don't have that boot anymore

 

There is a cabin air filter under the dash on the passenger side. I will
replace it and see if that helps. I appreciate all the help.
