My DD is perfect, but I have one little nitpicky thing I want to know about it. When I run the A/C and it’s on the “fresh air” setting, water vapor/steam comes from the vents on this setting, but not on the “recirculate” setting.
A bit on the car. 1998 Honda Civic EX. Clearly was a gravel road driven car prior to my picking it up.
My initial thought is that the condenser runoff line is either partially or fully plugged. Reasons for this supposition:
1. The vapor exists.
2. There are no cooling issues otherwise.
3. I noticed a substantial puddle of water below it in the driveway once, just as I backed up after unloading some passengers. This could have been the inertial spilling of pooled water in there somewhere.
4. Being a gravel car and its age make me wonder if dust could have accumulated to almost “cement up” the drain hose from the condenser.
Any other ideas before I crack down and get below it to see what might be the issue?
