Dodge Repair: Condensation Overflow inside cab of truck, caravan voyager, cherokee international

Question
Hi:  I have a 2002 DODGE DAKOTA 4X4 with 8000 miles.  I noticed that the floor on the passanger side of the inside cab was SOAKED.  There are also pools of condensation/water in the rear of the cab (I have an extended cab) where you could hold beverages.  I used to have an old 1989 RAMCHARGER and it had a black plug inside the engine/firewall that I could unplug and clean myself as it would get dirty and this solved that problem.  That was an OLD TRUCK and I could locate it and get to it rather easy.  Am I experiencing the same problem from running the A/C all summer and now there is overflow from a clog somewhere?  I will take it to the dealer if you think it is something that I cannot do myself.  Thanks in advance for your time and any advice is most appreciated!

from the A/C evaporator can run along the evaporator drain tube and enter the passenger
compartment if the seal between the HVAC housing and the bulkhead is not sealed
properly. This will result in wet passenger compartment carpet when the air conditioning is
operating.
