Air Conditioner Problem Where To Start?

Air Conditioner Problem Where To Start?
I was driving while using my air conditioner and then this plume of fog started to come out of the vent. I think a hose might have broken. I do not have enough information to problem solve this. What are your suggestions?



Car: Honda Civic | 1997 | LX 4 Door



Thanks In Advance

Did you turn the AC off or let it run? Does it blow out cold air still?

That might have been condensation that you were seeing. I forget why it happens but I have had it happen to me before. AC still worked but it freaked me out.

If the AC still cools good, don't worry about it.
Use recirculate.

"Fog" from the dash vents can be normal and acceptable under some conditions. It's the same phenomenon as a cloud in the sky.
