Smoke coming from the AC????!!!!!!

hey guys, anyone have this happen to them?

i was drivin on the highway today and my AC was on and i could see smoke coming out from the two middle vents. you would see smoke come out for 5-10 seconds and then it would stop but the air was still cold. it happened about 3-4 times while driving today during the late afternoon.

anyone have any ideas about what this could be??? thanks!

It happened to my friends 1990 Civic many years ago. A couple of weeks later, his interior fan control switch went out. The "II" setting didn't work.

Just something to look out for.

When smoking blunts on recirculate the smoke will blow out of your vents, take it off recirculate (open the window)

thanks for the help.... it wasn't on recirculate and it's not like it's real smoke as if something's burning. it looks like when you're outside in the cold weather and you breathe and you see your own breathe. that's what it was like... anyone else have any ideas or know what's goin on???

LOL, did it smell?

Used to happen all the time in Florida for me. It's moisture. The evaporator gets all the moisture out you can see the "dry" air hitting the moist air in the vehicle.

If you didn't smell anything, don't worry about it.
