AC PROBLEM (Is This Bad) HELP

ok, my A/C works great but, It is not dripping as it should from under the rig, (JUST VERY SMALL DROPS from time to time.

My MAIN question is, will this do any harm to anything. And how can it be fixed. I tried to clean out the line with a peace of wire, but no luck.

Any help please............

Thanks

The amount of water dripping will vary depending on the humidity in the air. But if the drain is blocked then water will collect in the tray below the evaporator and possibly spill on your passengers feet. Also you could get mold building up, which would take care of the wet passengers feet problem because no one will want to get in the vehicle when it smells like old socks.

Try blowing air up the drain hose, see if it clears.

That sounds like a good idear as I will be putting new speakers in very soon and have to drop the glove box anyway. But what will I be looking for by the blower motor. Sorry not to good at this.

I have a question where does the fan draw its air from? I know you can put it on recir and it pull air from inside the truck but when its of fresh, where is it pulling that air from?


I have 37 degrees at the vents on low speed on the fan.. If i turn it too high the air warms up to 55 , I'm thinking on high i'm pulling more fresh air than i am cab air....and would like to stop the fresh air all together to keep the air at 37..any ideas or is this normal? My ford does not do this

air will always be colder when the blower speed is lower. but in your case that rise in temp seems a little high to me. you might be a touch low on freon.

It pulls fresh air from outside the vehicle, i think the vents under the windshield along the cowl. When you want to pull just cab air-put it on recirculate so. Just don't do this when you need to use the defroster as you will just recycle the moisture in the air back to your windshield--sucks in the PNW during the winter.
