2002 VUE AC condensatation water leak

Oct 01, 2004 2 Replies

I have a 2002 Vue 4-cyl. There is AC condensation leaking onto the passenger side floorboard.



I figure there is a drain plugged up with dirt somewhere. It's probably a 1-minute fix after I find the problem.



Can someone tell me where the drains are, or what other things I should look for to fix this problem ?



Thanks, BL
