Heating & Vent Sys Flooding! 02 Sonata

Jun 08, 2005 5 Replies

Hi Al,



Just started to get hot here in MD, so started using AC and it is flooding the car!



Well, when you do a sharp left turn you get some Cold water on your feet!



Not getting any AC puddle under the car like you usually see, so I think where ever it drips from is blocked.


02 Sonata 2.4L 105K miles on the clock:(

Anyone know what is blocked?



Thanks,



Bryan


Woah, deja-vu. See the posting from May 18, titled "01 Elantra. Water entering passenger compartment causing numerous problems..." Sounds like the same problem, or at least the same symptoms.

I believe the Sonata has a little horseshoe shaped hose on the firewall where the evaporator drains. You may wish to try pulling the hose off and sticking a screwdriver in the tube and gently moving around to check for blockages.

NO! Use a wooden stick. The screwdriver is sharp at the end of it and might do more harm than good.

That cured my flooding problem.

I pulled the rubber shoe off and inserted about 1 inch of my screwdriver blade. Moved it around and water gushed out! Never noticed an object blocking it. Maybe a spider built a web in it:)

Thanks All,

Bryan

Sometimes some tree droppings and junk get caught there and need to be nudged out of the way.
