Friends: 0 |  Just finished 850 mile round trip Okay, I have 2 questions: 1) I noticed after about 4-5 hours of driving with the AC on (low), when I made a turn, drops of what I hope was water dripped on my foot. 2) When I stopped today (after about 3 hours of driving) deciding to fuel up, I kinda nodded off for a sec and heard gurgling noises from the fuel nozzle (immediately turned it off). Are these events normal and what caused them? |

As for water drops on your foot, No not normal. Was it, or has it recently rained? How many drops? How humid was it? Did you have the AC on fresh air or recirculating? Last edited by Sufferin' Prius Envy; 07-06-2008 at 05:02 PM. | |

Friends: 0 | Re: Just finished 850 mile round trip Thanks for the gurgling noise answer. As for the droplets; I drove to Hilton Head Island and back. It is humid; no rain. I just thought it was condensation from the AC since it was on for 4-5 hours. I can't even think of how to recreate this for service. I usually drive about 75 miles round trip. |

Friends: 60 |  Re: Just finished 850 mile round trip Hi Sandi. Water (it was) on your foot means the drain from your air conditioner is clogged. Water that has been condensed out of the hot humid air is supposed to go out onto the ground through a little hose. If gunk accumulates in the condenser box, it can block the hose. Any repair shop can fix this easily, but you have to get the car in the air to do it. They'll blow compressed air up the little hose, dislodging the blockage, and the water will drip on the ground instead of your foot. Be sure your cabin air filter is clean.
