I have had an issue with the A/C; water on passenger side. When ever I use the A/C for an extended period of time, water collects on the floor of the passenger side. The carpet becomes saturated and a puddle has collected. It has also been messing with the fuses for the lights in the rearview mirror. Has anyone had issues with this; if so, what is the problem and the solution?????

water in the cabin sounds like a heater core issue.

the evaporator catch tray drain hole is clogged with debris. There should be a way to access it. You can use a coat hanger as a snake and try to dislodge the debris from the drain hole/tube.

How do I find that A/C evaporator catch tray? My car started leaking on the floor of the garage yesterday and the fluid doesn't smell like coolant. Thanks.

it's not coolant, it's water. There should be a hose/tube on the firewall that is the drain tube. The catch tray is overfilling with water and not draining through the drain hose. This is why it's leaking onto the floor of the car.
