Er....Water spraying under my glove compartment...

Basically my problem is, it looks like someone turned a sink on under my glove compartment, but only when I make sharp left turns...

Since my drivers side window switch died, i've been using the A/C a lot now, so i'm guessing it might have something to do with that? The water coming out is definately under pressure as its not just a leak but it shoots out, but only on sharp left turns.

The only other thing I could think of would be that its related to when I left my sunroof/windows open during a thunderstorm the entire night before realizing it.

Well if your spraying water/coolant then you have a hole or leak in your heater core. Go down to the local auto parts store and either buy or rent a coolant system pressure tester. I don't want to write up the step by step procedure just check your FSM or even the hays manual shows you how it works.

Your drainage hose for you AC is clogged up. Just give it a good cleaning.

What he said. You can see the drain connection on the bottom of the evaporator housing. The hose pokes through the firewall into the engine bay.
