Just found a lot of water on the floor of my 1996 accord lx coupe... It appeared to be leaking from just under the glove box while I was driving.... It is not coolant, just plain water... Just drove the car through a rain storm, so maybe there is a leak? I looked under the hood and did not see a point near the firewall where water would come in? The car is in perfect shape, no rust... Anyone else have this occur?

 

The water could be from the sunroof drain tube (since it rained) or the A/C evaporator drain tube (if you recently used the A/C). #14 in the diagram is the evaporator drain tube.

 

No sunroof, I did just use the AC as it is hot and humid here in northern Ohio today... Question then is it appears to be the A/C evaporator drain tube... How would I clear that tube as it most likely is clogged if I am getting water on the floor...

 

Find it coming out at the bottom of the firewall, maybe difficult to see with the steering rack in the way.

Fish a plastic wire (like from a weed trimmer??) up that tube & root around with it. Maybe squeeze the tube? Watch for a face-full of gunk to come out if you're underneath the car. Something like a coathanger risks tearing a hole in the side of that tube.

 

Jim Blake: Thanks, I'll drive the accord up onto my car ramps within the next coupe of days and give it a go as long as I can find the drain tube, it should work... I'll let you know and take a pic of the process if I can and post it...

 

I've used a wet vac to clear the drain tube. This has less risk than a probe wire and should clear the tube.

Leaves/dirt can enter evap box and accumulate to block the drain. The debris may not clear w/ either probe or shop vac due to size/volume of the debris. In that case, you will need to remove AC charge, remove and clean evap box.

good luck
