2002 Chrysler T&C A/C condensate on floor

[Greg & Jo Carroll]

I have a 2002 Chrysler Town & Country with a 3 zone automatic A/C. A/C
condensate leaks on the passenger floor. The van is still under warranty,
so my dealer is working on it. I cannot convince him that it's condensate
and not outside rain water. He sealed up the windows and kick panels. His
last fix was to seal up the cabin filter door. I don't know if he removed
the filter before he did it or the filter is still there. I told him that
the fix may be found in TSB 24-008-02 (A/C - Evaporator Drain Water Leaks to
Interior), but my suggestion falls on deaf ears.. Does anyone know what
this TSB says the fix is? It will save me from buying the entire CD of
service bulletins from ALLDATA. Thanks.

I have seen this a lot over the years. Usually the condensate drain. Get the
car on a lift. It will probably be a rubber hose that is clogged up with dirt
from the condensate pan.

Hi Greg,

I had the same trouble with our 2001 Chrysler filling the right side front
mat with water.
It was coming from the AC drain as it goes through the firewall all cars
that I had in the past had a drain hose on the outside that runs the drain
AC water down.
I was told that Chrysler did not install this on 2001 and 2002 vans, I think
to save a couple of bucks.
I looked in the back of our owners manual and got the 800 number to Chrysler
and call
they looked up the TSB and I returned to the dealer with this information
and they installed a drain line and a seal under the hood at the firewall on
the AC drain tube and
all has been fine. They did not dry out the inside of our van and I pulled
up the carpet and removed the right front seat and put two big fans in side
and let them run for about a week to dry it our. As we are in Florida the AC
runs all the time.
Good Luck,

Bob

Thanks for your help. The installation of the drain hose fixed the problem.
