My wife’s Bronco has water (tiny drops but constant) spraying out of the windshield defrost vents. A/C is ON, recirculate is ON, defrost is OFF. Noticed we could hear a sound similar to water gurgling while it was raining then noticed the light spraying.

Sounds like a clogged condensation drain hose. I haven’t noticed mine but they are usually pretty obvious because they hang straight down towards the road. Try running a wire up it or tracing it back up under the hood and disconnect it to clear the clog.

Good morning! If you send over a DM with your VIN and Ford dealer info, I can look into your concern on my end.

Try turning the recirculating off. Otherwise, condensation builds up.

Any condensate should still drain regardless of the setting, hence the need to check the drain line. Cheers!
