Water on the Floor!!!

[TexasTJ]

This weekend We Drove the Rover about 334 miles round trip to Lost Maples State Natural Area in the Texas Hill Country and back to Austin. The Rover drove Great other and throwing another O2 sensor Code. I knew it was going to do that because I replaced the driveside O2 sensors last week, not a surprise the tend to all go really close together. However on the drive home we ran the AC on the Floor and out the mane vents. This is how I normally have run the AC in my old jeeps to keep the feet cool and its an old habit. When we got home the whole passenger floor board was soaked with water. Any Idea what this could be??? I have had that happen In a jeep when the condensation drip was plugged. Im drying the Rover out now.
thanks

Appears like the condensation hoses are clogged up. Crawl underneath and run a wire through them to unclog them. Oh... and get out of the way of the stinky water that will come gushing down!

Sounds good! while I have t Carpet up anyone know a good source for the foam mat under the Carpet? I am drying the one under there out, but its old looking a cracked up too.

This is a fairly common issue. There are two "nipples" up near the transmission tunnel, you need to clean them out. Maybe run a pipe cleaner up there.

However, I still sometimes get condensate out the floor vents even though I clean mine regularly. <shrug> It has nothing to do with running AC on the floor or not, it will always do it.

Are the two "nipples" the same as the condensation hoses (I'm guessing DI and DII are similar)? I'll be interested in sources for the padding under the carpet, as mine is deteriorating as well.

On the D1, the "nipples" are just pushed into the condensate drain tubes.

I pulled mine out in ~'95 and they're still on the workbench :victory: no wet floors since....well, except that time I was stuck in the river....

Double check that the fluid is just water as it could very well be coolant. Check the coolant level in the resevoir too. On the DII the heater coil is on the inside of the firewall and on the passenger side. When the heater coil goes the coolant leaks onto the passenger side footwell.

Hopefully it is the AC drains.

WOW thats all I have to say! I just pulled the nipples out of the tube and think dog I did! there just know way I would have goton all that gunk out of them other wise. Its a cool Idea to keep mud out but the sure fill up with AC gunk! I think Ill keep mine out for good!
