Check the evaporator drain.
It drains under the hood. This is condensation from the air conditioning unit and the drain can plug up and flood the floor pan. I'm not sure on your vehicle if it is easier from underneath or from the engine compartment. |

Are you talking about the little hose that water drains from while the ac is running? It was draining a few weeks ago, but i will check again to make sure. So should i just run a coat hanger up the hose to unclog it? Any suggestions?

No, not a joke. I did some research and there are two drain hoses that run from the sunroof channel down through a tube in the door pillar that can plug up and back up into the passenger compartment, usually in the shotgun footwell.

Another possibility is the heater core and/or hoses/connections. If the leaking fluid is coolant, then that's it. If water, then previous suggestions and windshield.

I dont think it is coolant. Are their connections to the heater core under the dash that might be leaking? By windshield do you mean a leak around the seal?

Well now thats a good place to start.

What about useing coat hanger up inside of the drain hose to unclog it?

You can pull the blower resistor and use a small vacuum to clear the bottom of where the evap sits on the Styrofoam. That is straight to the drain. I usually blow it out the drain from this access. |

Yes, a possible leak at the windshield seal. Might be only glued with no weatherstrip. In that case, would need some sealing. Worst case, windshield would have to be pulled. Heater core is under dash. Don't remember if hose connections are in engine compartment or under dash. Hopefully, it's just the evap drain.

If no coolant is going to the hose connections at the firewall, the leak is not coolant. Did you clear the evap drain?
If you get inside the Jeep and have someone spray the outside with a garden hose, you will probably be able to see where the water is coming in. |

I finaly figured it out. It was water being blown back into the passenger side of the vehical comeing from where the ac drain is. I put rubber elbow hose on it to direct the water farther away when it drains and it stoped it. Thanks to everyone once again for all your help with this matter.
