We just came back from a 1500 mile trip that we did in two days. Went to S. Carolina and the ac was constantly on. It eventually started to occasionallyd rip inside. First it was dripping on the passenger side, so I opened the glove box and pulled it down. I wasn't able to get a pic but there was condensation on the plastic panel behind the glove box. I assume that was the covering for the heater core, or ac related parts. Is that a normal occurrence? It was hot and humid the entire trip. Or maybe some kind of blockage? There was lots of ac condensation drainage coming from under the hood, it seemed like alot, but again, it was very hot and humid. Later, on the way back home, my go was driving and she felt a drip on her foot. Wasn't able to see where that was coming from tho. Any thoughts or ideas?

i wouldnt think that would be normal to be dripping inside the cabin no matter how hot and humid it is.

That's what I thought. When I looked behind the glove box, the covering was covered with condensation, looked exactly like a glass of ice water on a hot humid day.

Check the drain hole for the condensor, where it goes through the floorboard. On mine it was a rubber elbow sticking out below the drier, on the firewall. Mine was plugged, i took a bath when it unclogged lol.

My best guess would be that its just that hot and humid and your ac puts out nice cold air. Like a house cold air vent would sweat. On the outside of the condenser housing I'm out of ideas. I'll peek at mine on the way home tonight and see if it does it, its 90 and 52% humidity.

It is nice n cold. Also started to blow hot air out of the passenger side vents, but then started blowing cold after a few minutes. Hopefully I'll stay cold.
