AC Drip???

I was driving around today- out on about 45miles in 75degree weather - when I parked at a store I had water? dripping under the truck near the front pass wheel well. I know your calling me an idiot so far and you're gonna say it's condensation from running the AC - right? Well I wasn't running the AC! I've never seen this before. It has to be condensation but why?? I double checked and the air was off. Has anyone had this happen?

Re: AC Drip???

I think it was set to the defroster/floor setting.

If the defroster is turned on, the air conditioning compressor is active; start your car up and turn on the defroster, and you'll see the compressor engage. They do this to make sure the compressor doesn't bind up in the winter, when it doesn't get used.

Don't worry, sounds like it was condensation after all.

Long as there was no coolant mix on the ground I'd say it was the compressor.

The dryer will get condensation on it when the AC is running.

Re: AC Drip???

The dondenser is in the front of the vehicle ahead of the radiator. The receiver dryer is the metal can shaped thing that's in the engine compartment near the evaporator housing.
