Title: water coming out under dash
Post by: nofearblackstar on February 22, 2008, 05:32:19 PM: not the radiator core . it comes out over both driver and pasanger side feat.

It was ranning for the past few days . I take the jeep out . it had a little drip over my clutch foot but nothin that bad . Started driving up a hill and it just pored out of both sides over the feat and by the speakers more on the passenger side then the driver. It was not ranning while i was driveing if that helps .

also its a 93 jeep wrangler . any help would be great . Thanks

You should be able to just remove the grate and clean out the drain tube.

If so, the cable could cause the leak; I run my cables in from the sides so that at least water does not leak when driving, but it will still get in when it rains at night with wind (not that much, though).

Soft top, rain the night before, late to work.... forgot to pour the water pools off the top.... bad day at work...

Mine did not do it when I had the soft top on, but it does now with the hard top (then again, I added the hard top, THEN the lights, THEN changed the windshield frame, so it can be any one of those factors!)
