Default Water Leak From Center Console (passenger side)

Noticed that passenger side carpet was wet so removed it to dry and look for source of leak.

I have isolated the water source to the passenger side/center console area. The water only drips when the A/C is running.

Does anyone know how to correct this or what the cause could be? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

My daughter is having the same problem. I just posted the same question for her. No answers yet.

I am still at a loss. It seems that the water is dripping from the lowest point on the heat exchanger. However, I am unable to determine the source.

Have you (or anyone) had any luck resolving this?

A/C drain clogged? I have seen that before and it is on the passenger side. I had a car today that the sunroof drain was clogged and blew the hose off and was leaking into the car.

This seems to be a common sign of a clogged A/C drain tube. The drain is located on the passenger side of the exhaust tunnel. Ive had a couple of theses cars with the same problem.

How do you fix this problem? Does anyone have pictures of the AC drain Tube and where it is located exactly and how to get to it? I am having the same problem with my rugs being wet. Please help!
