    Was driving home from a trip when right before getting home I got sprayed in the foot with what looks like water. Had been driving for a few hours. Maybe a little more than half the time with AC on. No lights came on and truck is driving fine. Got out to check and look around. Looks like it came from this white piece of plastic in photo. Started driving again and was fine. Messed with the AC controls and when I turned it all the way up and on the foot and face setting it sprayed again.
    Any ideas? I know heater core failure would have coolant and is on passenger side

    The AC condensate drain may be clogged. Try poking a wire in the drain hose, it's located on passenger side firewall in engine bay.

    Looks like a clogged A/C drain.

    Thanks all. Looks like it was the ac drain. Pulled this out of the rubber grommet followed by 1 1/2 cups or more of water.

    James, what is the make/model of the OBD II bluetooth adapter you have & how long have you had it? I can't seem to find one that lasts longer than 6 months. Sorry for the thread jack.

    no worries.
    It’s the Bluetooth UltraGauge. I’ve had it for about a year and it’s worked great.
