After running my a/c I noticed my passenger side carpet/floor was very wet (like something had spilled on the floor). I still get the puddle of water underneath the outside of the van, but where do I check to see why I am getting water on the inside of the van? How do I fix it? ---

Well, obviously, you didn’t make the pit stop soon enough (or your passenger shouldn’t have bought the 2-gallon size coke)! Kidding aside - the source is most likely the evaporator, tucked up under the dash. If it were me, I would probably (never done this mind you) remove any panels needed, get a flashlight and observe the evap housing while A/C running to determine where water is dripping. My guess is there is a hole in the housing letting some water drip into the passenger compartment. Good luck! ---

The AC drain is likely blocked. The trick is to find the drain for your specific model and year car. Then use some string trimmer line or a little compressed air to clean out the drain. ---

Yup, your drain is blocked. The water is backing up into the vehicle instead of draining underneath. ---

I was afraid that it wouldn’t be simple. As soon as I get brave enough I’ll give it a try…or maybe I’ll get lucky and someone will make me some Shamwow floor mats. LOL
