Default Could be your evaporator drains are clogged.

Default I just had to do this as a roadside repair. I would..

completely remove the orange piece to clean it. It pulls right and that way you can see the other end and make sure it's clear.

Mine were completely clogged.... I could hear the water behind the dash.
