Wow was I in for a surprise with this one!
I had noticed a puddle of water in the garage about a week and a half before I found out the problem...I thought it was from my daughter's (she's 17) car that is parked next to mine. She had just washed it and I figured it was due to that.
A week later, while going out to eat, I pointed out to my son (he's 13) that there was water under my car in the parking lot. He's VERY mechanically inclined, so I valued his opinion. He said that it was probably due to the typical water drainage from the A/C but it was a lot of water and we should ask dad. I failed to ask my husband, who's a commercial refrigeration contractor BTW.
It didn't happen the next 2 days, but I noticed a slight odor. I planned on calling the dealer after I was finished at my dental appointment that day.
WELL, when I came outside and got in the car...it wouldn't start. No cranking, no sound, no nothing! So I freaked out and called major guard for a tow to the dealer. While I was waiting, I thought I'd gather my belongings and shake out the floor mats and to my surprise, the floor on the passenger side was drenched. Like a gallon or more of water drenched. I figured that the fuse box was wet and caused the car to not start...told the dealership. They said that the A/C drain must be clogged and cleaned it. It was and problem solved...just be on the look out for those pesky puddles! You've been warned!
