Running water sound

[Cain98Eclipse]

When I am driving in first and second, I hear a sound of running water from my dash. What could this be? I thought it was the AC but I turned it off and I still hear it.

Another ? I recently primered my car (done a good job too) but my dash lights dont work and my cd player will not work either I have checked all the fuses and they are all good? Could this be my battery dying?

Thanks,
Cain

Can you crank up the car ? check your alternator belt, or go to auto zone, and check for battery and alternator.

I love how you told us you primered your car, even though it has absolutely nothing to do with anything related to your problem.

My turn



Your electrical problems don't sound like the result of a dying battery. If the bat/alt was dying then you would have dim dash lights, and you probably couldn't start it. You said you have no lights so....

No idea about the running water problem.

Your dash lights and cd player problem comes from a wiring problem that I'm guessing originates below the cd player, that's where alot of people fuck up their shit.

Usually when you have that running water sound is when you have your heater on or anything air circulating related. Now from what I've been told, is that when you hear water in your dash like what you are hearing it usually means that the Air conditioner resevoir is filled. And the way that things usually work is the water that is gathered up runs into the resevoir and then runs out a drain that you usually see the water marks on the ground.

The reason that you are hearing water is because the drain is plugged and to un-plug it, put the nozzle of an aircompressor up to the drain which is on the fire wall on the passanger side (near where you are hearing the water). When you blow the air into the drain line, it should un-plug and you should have water pooring out. Good Luck.

Let us know how this works out. I heard this on Car Talk on NPR (National Public Radio), a radio public station around here. I also told this to a friend of mine and he did it on his Lebaron and it did work. So like I said Good Luck.

God I'm Awesome!!!

ned ned ned, If the water drain were plugged up then there would be no water movement, and thus no sound of running water (unless it was a dripping noise). It would have to find somewhere else to go. Just look underneath to see if there is water dripping out of the AC drain line. OR blow that shit out anyway, you won't hurt a thing.

Ned, you are awesome though. Maybe you are even right on this one. If so then I will you when it comes to diagnosing the sound of a faucet in the dash.

It is just a sound you hear in some cars(i guess, since it's hard to diagnose a fargen sound over the web ) . Just cause you turn off the AC doesn't mean that it won't continue to drain for a little while either. Is the sound bothering you that bad? Is it causing problems? Or is it just an annoyance?(sp?)

Sometimes a lot of air in the cooling system can sound strange as it comes through the heater core, so go to MY "overheated thread" and follow the proceedure for eliminating air bubbles in the cooling system.


BTW, why only in 1st and 2nd? That's furkeded up!

Hum I said I primered my car because everything worked fine before that dash lights, cd player. The cd player was installed by the previous owner not me, and it worked fine up until then.

I will try to blow the stuff out but I am unsure where the plug is could someone post a pic? If not I can try and find it.

Would this help with the AC not blowing out good on the doors, it blows out good in the middle but hardly any comes out from the doors.

I have no problems starting the car that works fine, could it be where I rest the ECU, can you over rest the ECU? If there is a problem that the cd player is causing how could I fix this. I have installed cd players before and this one is hooked up correctly, I checked because it just went off one day for no reason. I have so many problems!!!:cry:

I'm not sure what it looks like but try it anyways when someone tells you were to look.

Yeah, and post up if it fixes it. I am curious to see if it works.

You think the primer messed up your cd player? How do you rest an ECU? Do you mean reset?
