Wet floorboard on driver side

My Wife's 2003 Dodge Caravan has a wet floorboard dripping down from condensation from a black plastic cover over the foot area. Not an outside leak. I have a 97 caravan , cleaned passenger side ac condensation drain and still getting drips on the driver side. Took the cover off  that covers the blower motor, everything is dry on the passenger side!! Any body have an answer? Besides pulling dash out...... And no its not coolant (heater core)

    Its Not coolant, It only drips when the ac has been running for a while. I don't know what coolant your using, but mines green and the drip is clear. Not only that but if it were coolant it would have a sweet smell and the carpet would never dry as coolant doesn't dry.

Your heater core (a small radiator) in the heaterbox is leaking

    That's condensate from the ac

    I have this same problem. Small black box behind glove box is leaking. Drips from the screws, and I can feel moisture from the seams on the plastic. It will appear all dry, I have carpets and insulation all pulled back, and all is now dry on the floor. I used a fan in the car for several days. But when I drive the car, the water comes sloshing out and running down the wall on passenger side. (the front wall, which is at your feet under dash, interior side of engine firewall.) I have not put the carpet back down yet so it is easy to see the dry wall turn wet. How do I get the water out of the heater box? I think have the leaked fixed and that this is residual water left behind possible from when it was leaking. I took off the cowl, cleaned out the screen, the drains, and caulked between the cowl and the windshield when I put the cowl back on. Also, if I was to try to check the ac drainage tube, to I find it on the rear firewall, passenger side from up above, or do I go under the car to find it?

2005 dodge caravan leaking on the driver side and passenger side floor. the rain water is dropping from corner of the roof.

The rear ac evaporator box is not draining very well,and it is blowing the condensation up threw the vents,most likely.The drain should be under the rear passengers side wheel well.

The passenger side floorboard gets wet =

is it only when the ac is on? there is a pan under the ac unit that has a hole in it to allow the condensation to empty. if that hole gets plugged it could cause the condensation to build up and back into the inside of that car. i unplugged mine and floor stayed dry

1997 Dodge Grand Caravan water leak.

There is a hose on the passenger side fire wall. You may have the water leaking back into the car, and may need an extension piece.

2002 Wet passenger front floorboard

Plugged drain tube.

Check under the hood, on the firewall, passenger side. Tube comes off the bottom of the evaporator housing (this is the box where the a/c lines enter the firewall). Usually a rubber tube that directs condensation from the evaporator housing to the outside. This tube often plugs with dirt.

Wet on Passenger side floor when AC is on

Auto ac units have an outside drain for the condensation. If you ever noticed a car running and it looks like it's leaking something on a hot day it's the condensed water from the ac unit draining. What you have is a clogged or disconnected drain hose.
You need to find the hose and drain and reconnect them. Sounds simple, good luck.

Problem with AC

The condensate from the A/C is dripping on the floor. It's supposed to drip into a pan, with an attached hose, and run outside on the ground. The hose is probably clogged. You can see the hose if you look under the vehicle in that general area. It may just have dirt in the end of it.

Water on passenger floorboard

there should be a drain for condensation in the lower part of the engine compartment on the firewall . it might be plugged up so the water stays in the compartment and leaks inside.
