97 water leak when a/c on

[kam1685]

I have had my 97 blazer in the shop three times now for this. Water (clear liquid) starts to drip from the pass lower dash when the a/c is on either of the non-recirc settings. It doesn't leak when on recirc mode.

Dealer said they cleaned the drained hoses, still leaked.

took it back in, same thing...

took it back in again..they said compressor was leaking, causing the evaporator to make a lot of condensed water because of the very cold liquid leaking around the evaporator. The puddle underneath the blazer has been pretty large lately.

The dealer wants $800 to fix the so-called refrig leak, which they said would fix the water leak into the cab....

Get this, this leak started after I had the dealer do the a/c evaporator cleaning per the tsb for mold/mildew.

first of all, if ur compressor was leaking, it wouldnt make cold air period cuz as it cycled, all of ur refrigerant would leak out, and water is normal.....its just condensation off of ur evaporator, as long as u still have cold air, then nothin to worry about

Actually, the water leak was inside the cab, little droplets kept falling underneath the pass side dash, and after 30 minutes, the whole pass floorboard was wet.

Now the a/c doesnt even work. So it had leaked out....i believe the dealership has done something to get me to pay more money, i just dont have any proof. i guess i will have to pay to get it fixed and hope they fix the water leak also...I'm at my wits end.
