“For the last month or so fluid from the AC condenser line has been flowing into the passenger side of the vehicle when the AC is on. As much as a half inch of liquid has poured onto the floorboard. About a week ago, the brights on the vehicle have been coming on automatically while the car is on and while the car was turned off and the key removed, draining the battery. The battery now needs to be replaced, but the there has been a sulfur like smell coming from the engine. The engine has been stalling as well. I believe the issue for the brights is the ignition control switch. …”
