I need some help with this one, i have a puddle of water behind the drivers side seat, it first showed up yesterday and during the day it had rain, when i came home i fully vacuum the car with a wet vac, then this morning i just went out and after a while i saw the same puddle of water, i do not know if the AC has something to do with it, by the way it was not raining this morning.

i had the same problem, but it wouldn't happen everytime it rained, i think its the windows. Sometimes power washers spray in the driverside window, i just though it was because the window was busted out during a previous ownership (found broken glass inside the door panel)....

Now i park her in the garage and never drive it in the rain.

Thank you, but this car is kept in the garage, today i took it to work and the were no water leak, then i came home and water showed up in the same spot, it did not rain at all, the only thing that i could think is that he AC was on, and its leaking water all the way to the back of the drivers seat. That spot was bone dried this morning and today was a very hot day.

It is condensation built up by the AC. You should have a drain hole that drains to the outside. Yours sounds like it's plugged. It is as simple as looking under the car for a hose that isn't connected. You can take a thin wire (coat hanger) and GENTLY push up and see if that clears the leak.

However before I go pushing a coat hanger into random hoses, I would check the FSM.

I can't find where it is in the FSM. Here is a link to the AC controls in the FSM. Right click "save target as" and save from this link. Hopefully what you are looking for is in there. I have to make dinner for my wife...

Thank you for the file, i took the car to the dealer because i couldnt find the leak myself, i tought it was the AC but they could find where the leak is coming from, they want to take the seats and the carpet out so they could do some testing. This is a weird one, again this morning i turned the AC on on my way to work and the were no puddle of water, then on my way home it rained and did have the AC on and when i got home the was a puddle of water in the same spot behind the drivers seat.
