Default Sloshing sound behind dash when a/c on
After a recent road trip with my a/c on, I heard what appeared to be the sound of water sloshing around behind the dash. The sound ceased once the a/c was turned off. Additionally, the a/c seems to cut off when I turn corners. Once I complete the turn it kicks back in. Lastly, the blower motor only comes on sporadically. Any idea what's causing these problems? Thanks!

clear the a/c drains right away. It'll make a mess if you let it go and it overflows (lots of water)

Default Make sure you have a low profile catch basin.....a lot of water will come out
And it will go alllllll over the floor. Have probably 2 or 3 McDonald's 22 oz cups, they work well.

Default Definitely an insider joke. If you don't get this, you either don't do your own work, or haven't
owned a D2 very long.
