Default Water dripping?

I'm kinda confused. I've got a water drip under my jeep. Im not driving they puddles, no AC running. It's been 40 degrees in Maryland. It's defiantly water dripping..felt it. It's been like a month of doing this.

Any ideas?

One person wrote on here recently saying his compressor was stuck on all the time even if air and defrost are off. Maybe that's something to look at.

Are you running the vent system in one of the windshield positions?

Water is under muffler--or at least the mid section of jeep. Not under engine.

Ron, explain what you meant by vent? I usually run with fresh air coming in.not recycling.

It's not a by product. The moisture is caused by the hot air from the exhaust hitting the cold outside air. The hotter air is the more moisture it can hold, so when the hot air hits the 40 degree air it has to shed water(condensation).
