Mitsubishi Repair: 2003 eclipse, drain tube, heater core


Question
there is water on the driver side floor and  i got it from turning the ac on isnt the water supposed to leak outside the car is there a hose that might be in the wrong direction? please help

Answer
Daisy,
You are correct, there is a drain hose that lead from the heater core box to the bottom of the car where the water is supposed to drain out when the A/C is on.  The drain tube may have gotten clogged from the outside.  You can take the car to a mechanic and ask if they can unclog the tube.  Sometimes they can do this simply by blowing a little compressed air up the tube to clear it.  If that doesn't help, your mechanic would have to get into the heater core box and clear the clog from there.
Good luck!
