Air conditiong

[PaulOlivetti]

I have a question about the air conditioning in my 98 I30. It seems to have stopped working. I noticed because though it's winter, the defrost has worked terribly. Lately we had a day when it was warm enough to check it and the compressor didn't seem to be working.

Simultaneously, the floor on the passenger's side has gotten quite wet.

Any connection? Any ideas?

Thanks!

Could possibly be the a/c plenum drain is plugged and the condensation is what is on the floor. You need to determine if it is water or engine coolant first. If it is engine coolant, there is a possibility the heater core has developed a leak. Let us know what you find.
