My floor board is wet on the passenger side and I am looking for the A/C drain. I think it may be clogged. I found a small elbow type hose under the hoses that are for the heater core and checked it but it was not clogged.

Searched your video but it will not play.

Good morning,

I attached a picture of where it is located. If you remove the hose and it was not clogged, then the clog is inside the case. You will need a coat hanger or compressed air if you have a compressor at home to dislodge the dirt.

I have found hose, I removed it nothing came out. You said it’s inside the case? How would you clear it if that was the case?

Does this car not have a condensate drain separate from that location?

As I stated in my previous post, you will need a coat hanger or compressed air to clear the drain. The dirt is inside and needs to be moved for the water to drain.

No, that is the only location.

Okay, I already tried the coat hanger and that did not fix it. I will try the compressed air and hopefully that will work and clear it.

I used a snake hose and shoved it in the port and no water came out. I do have a sun roof and I found the drain hose for it which runs down the drivers side only into the frame

I’m still lost for where it could be coming from.

That is the drain for the AC.

There must be all kinds of debris inside the case to block it up that bad.

The case may have to be removed to clean it out.

So to to remove or clean the case is that a very involved job?

Would blowing compressed air clear it?

No I used a snake clog hose like you would use to clear a drain. I went out and bought a compressor to try that if snake did not clear it as a last option.
