Default Water in Passenger Floor (SRT)

I have water that has pooled up on the passenger floor. The air conditioner is not working as no cool air is coming through and the fan does not appear to be on. I have a service appointment in 7 days and as much as I wet vac the water and leave the car outside with the top down, the water seems endless. The water is a bit brackish but it is indeed water. I am not looking to fix the issue on my own but am wondering the best way to drain the water so it is not draining into the car. I just need to buy some time before my service.I am not too handy.

Regards,

Rick

You need to remove the cowl and there are 3 drains that need to be unclogged, the middle one is usually ok but check them all.

Water usually gets in when the passenger side drain under the cowl gets plugged with debris, this is a most often caused when the car is parked under trees with small leaves, the leves act as a filter and start to trap smaller particles. It is wise to check this drain often, it can be seen through the rubber comb cover where the hinge goes There is a similar drain on the drivers side and two drains in the centre of the cowl area. These other drains do not seem to cause too much trouble but should be checked so that they do in fact do their intended task.
