Replying to: paulsk (Jun 28, 2007 3:53 pm) I have done this same thing on my 95 GCLtd with success also. I have since installed drain tubes on both Jeeps so I don't have to go back each year and clean out the air conditioning box. If you want details on how to do this let me know.

| I have a 96 Grand Cherokee Laredo with the v8 and the other day we discovered a leak in the passenger floor boards and discovered that the a/c is not leaking the condensation off under the jeep like it normally would except it is coming in the floor some where I did what every body has said to do including the a/c shop in town by drilling a small hole in the duct work down under the dash so we did and nothing happend we noticed later it leaked outside the jeep like it should thought we had it fixed but no i was wrong it is still coming inside what do you recomend???? | |

The defrost door actuator motor has failed in the open position causing most of the air flow to be directed to the defroster vents. 5. The defrost door could be broken. |

Replying to: kodysgrandma1 (Jul 30, 2008 4:47 am) My remedy is first to obtain the "plumbing" parts listed below. I bought these at the Home Depot but any good hardware/home supply will have what is needed. I will include pictures which should help illustrate the fix. One plastic elbow with a hose connector (hose barb) on one end and threads on the other side. One plastic elbow with a hose connectors (hose barb) on both ends. Approximately one foot of plastic tubing. One the Jeep illustrated I used clear tubing but on my wife's Jeep I used black reinforced (as in fuel line) tubing. The important thing is to puchase the correct size tubing to fit the hose connector end of both elbows. As for the threaded end of elbow used at the air conditioning duct - you will need a thread tap of the correct size. You should also have availalbe some RTV silcone gasket cement or another brand of silcone sealer (as in 3M). For installation, drill the correct size hole in the center of the round water collection point in the air conditioning duct and use the thread tap to cut threads for the elbow. Drill a second hole in the floor just large enough to insert the one end of the second elbow. I drilled it in the flatter floor area and just through the first layer of sheet metal. This hole will let the water drain out onto the ground from this new location. Screw the threaded end of the first elbow into the hole you created in the ductwork. Push one end of the tubing onto the hose barb end of this elbow and the other end onto the hose barb end of the second elbow. Insert the other end of this elbow into the hole drilled into the floor. I then used the silicone sealer around the elbow threads in the air conditioning ductwork. There is no pressure so if you got good thread cut into the ductwork you may not need the silicone sealer. I had some on hand so I sealed it up (see the blue stuff I smeared around the elbow). As I mentioned, this fix is working great for us and I no longer have to clear out the hole in the firewall of the debris. As was mentioned by some posts, it does help if you do not have to park under trees. I have used a hose to flush out some of the debris but holding the end of the water hose over the cowling and letting it flow. I have also sprayed a hard stream of water into the holes in the firewall behind both front tires. I do agree that Chrysler/Jeep did not get the design right so the debris will flush out by itself but are other manufacturers better in this design?

You can find your carspace by typing "http://www.carspace.com/" followed by your username (no quotes!) into your browser's address bar. tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper
