I can't recall seeing anyone in the Forum mentioning this particular problem, but there is a TSB referring to it.. I'm wondering if there might be some connection between this and those of us with "Non-peeing"HHRs?

Air Conditioning - Water Leaks Onto Passenger Front Floor
http://www.alldata.com/tsb/General-M...016/index.html

My Wife hasn't mentioned seeing this, but most of her trips are short (10 miles or less) and maybe it's something that needs more time for water to build up in there, somewhere, before it might leak or blow out from the vents?
I'm going to refer the Service Advisor to this TSB when we take the car in, probably early Friday when we can leave it all day. That'll give them half a day to ignore it !!

I guess you'll have to check out this TSB on the complete list of them on the sticky on "Problems/Service Issues" It wouldn't open from my posting above?

No peeing here. THen again I only use mine for 5 to 10 min's. I run it till the air gets cold then recirculate it with the A/C off. THe air will stay cold for about 2 to 3 hours, but I don't live in the hottest part of the world.

I have not noticed any myself. I do not run the A/C much. Even in Arizona I run the recirculate air with the A/C off and it does stay cool. I only run the A/C for about 5 minutes, when I first get in the car.
I also have never seen a water build up on the floor. Maybe I will run the A/C Monday on my way home from work and see if my drive gets wet.

Unless you have the vent set to either defrost or floor only, you are running your a/c.

That's why its cool air!

Then who has the problem? Those that pee or those who do not?
I do know that you are still running the A/C, what I was going to watch is see if there is a diffrence.

Not necessarily true. The A/C must be turned on. What position the circulation button is in makes no difference (vent, defrost, floor or some combo). Push the centre of your temp button and that turns the A/C on or off (yellow light shows on or off).

Whenever the controls are set to "recirc" the A/C compressor is on.

Even when the A/C light is off, the A/C is still on (and compressor is running), in recirc mode.

We've been through this several times on this forum...

[QUOTE=dbarberaz]Then who has the problem? Those that pee or those who do not?


That's what I'm wondering Has anyone ever had moisture blowing out of the vents, or water leaking on the pass. side floor from under the dash? Evidently there is some kind of problem since Chevy has a TSB referring to it.


Quick Reply: A/C problem or not?
