    I had a small amount of water in the passenger floorboard. I felt black plastic piece (assuming fixture for a/c) it was a little wet. I was driving with windows down and a/c on high. I'm thinking it's just condensation. Any other ideas? It didn't smell like coolant and looked clear on my finger.

    I have a 360 btw.

    Mike- Odds are your AC evaporator drain tube is blocked and the condensate is not draining below like it should. Someone here should be able to tell you exactly where the drain tube is located under her. Then just a matter of cleaning it out from below with a nylon lock strip or something similar or blowing it out from above. Do not have your face directly under the tube while removing the obstruction.

    I thought the same thing but it drained out on the garage floor but there could be a partial blockage. I'll take her out today and see if it does it with the windows up and me running the a/c. It's going to be a rough day having to drive a Ferrari for a while to make sure everything is ok!

    Drain tube was draining. Took the car out for a couple of hours with windows rolled up. No issues at all today.

    Mike, it's gotta be due to the windows rolled down, if you were getting condensation on the outside of the evaporator box (or piping leading into it)...I think an AC system counts on being allowed to remove the moisture from the ambient air ;-)

    I think so too. There was no condensation today. It was very humid yesterday afternoon, it had rained in the morning.
