Re: 03 civic Ac/heater problems

do you have moonroof? sometimes the plastic tubes get separated and leak water thru the hole.

Re: 03 civic Ac/heater problems

i bet its the a/c water drain thats supposed to vent water out the car. do you see water pool up under the car when you park and shut the car off? if not its going inside the car which isnt good.

Re: 03 civic Ac/heater problems

Sounds like clogged drain hose.

A temp fix and test would be to run the HVAC system without using the compressor (either set to release green A/C light during defrost or use floor setting to keep compressor from running)

The hose exits underneath the car near the firewall.

You may need to locate the sloshing water and try to get it dryed up, It may or may not continue to drain onto floor.
