 Subject: Leaking Water?
IP: Logged
Message:
My truck leaks water from the passenger side engine compartment right behind where the starter is. I can't get a fix on the exact location although it looks like the same leakage/condensation I get when I run my A/C. I haven't run the A/C in about a week and the thing still leaks. Is it possible that some component in my A/C system is frozen up (no pun intended) which is causing the compressor to stay engaged?
Any info would be greatly appreciated

The compressor will also spin when you have the defroster running in any of it's modes. Did you have that running?

I've checked inside the cab, and it is bone dry. I'm gonna assume it is from the A/C compressor for now.... unless somebody has another suggestion. Thanks for all your feedback.

Guys,
The problem is the a/c condensation is not flowing outside the vehicle but draining directly into the cab.
Check out www.dodgedakotas.com/boards/gen/7229.html or 7317.html or do a search on "water in the cab".
This is a known problem on the forum and with Dodge.
I own a 2001 extended cab. My passenger side carpet is soaked. I just got back from the Daytona Dodge dealership. They know of the problem and have issued a TSB. I have to take it in Monday and they'll install a new discharge tube and dry out my carpet. Although I'm going to push for replacing my carpet.
I'll check back on Monday with the results of my visit.

the water is from the "engine compartment" not inside the cab, really read his post, James most likely nailed it. Blue thunder has a different problem and he too most likely hit it, or his heater core leaks.
