Lightbulb drivers compartment AC water leak

In the previous thread I mentioned I just purchased a shark. Now for maintaining. Drove it home from work made a hard left turn a few drops of water fell on my foot. Mad other hard lefts trying to duplicate to no avail. Came home got on rennlist, researched previous threads near as I can tell the much talked about heater control maybe going bad? Am I right

Not sure about that, sounds kinda like the drain for ac drain is plugged. If it is, then the water is likely to be dripping onto the electrical panel under the footboard on the passenger side...I would make sure this drain problem is checked out before i turned the AC on again.

I noticed a similar problem while on a long trip the other day. I was driving barefoot and my foot was being dripped on once in awhile. Where are the a/c drains located?

Many issues with the drain plug. First is mostly difficult to access from inside unless you do a complete tear down. It has a design similar to a pinball machine that channels water to the drain hole/tube that can become clogged with debris, and the tube itself can become bent and/or clogged. Best to try and access it from beneath the vehicle if you can locate it. If you have compressed air this might be your best tool.
