So today I finally gave up. My a/c drain line is clogged (not a drop of water outside) and I can't seem to find it to unclog it. I've searched and followed the directions posted on other threads, but still nothing. I've looked everywhere, under, over, left, right, with a mirror, a flash light and even used my hand to feel around. Only thing I managed to find was a leak on my power steering hose.

I can take it to the dealer, but at this point I'm making finding that drain a personal goal. I'm not that able when it comes to mechanical stuff so if anyone have pics or even a map, I will be eternally grateful.

 

Maybe tell us what year, model and options you have or better yet make a signature.
How do you know the drain is plugged? Is there a musty smell or water dripping inside?
Water does not always drip out of the drain and hit the ground. Depends on humidity level.

 

It's a 2005 MCS. There's a lot of water dripping on the driver's side (like half a glass over a 30 minute trip). I placed a tower were the leak is and have to wring it every time and get on and off. The humidity level were I live is crazy.

First I though it was the heater core, but it only drips water, and only when the A/C is on. I've checked and not a drop of water hits the ground outside. So it must be the drain hose. But I'm stumped, I've searched were other threads say the hose is, but no luck. Maybe mine fell off of got pushed inside on the last trip to the mechanic.

 

Sorry to insist, but still haven't found it

 

I'd like to know too.

 

Look under the car to the passenger's side of the main catalytic converter, just past the heat shield.
There should be a square rubber tube (opening is about 3/8" x 1").
If it's patent, when the a/c is running and the fan is on medium or high, you should be able to feel some cold air exiting it,
along with water drips, depending on temperature and humidity.
If it's plugged up, it will be a dry rubber square opening without any air exiting.
You may be able to probe it carefully from below and open it up without tearing anything.

 

Cristo, thanks. Found it! As I suspected my mini's drain hose just wasn't at plain sight. Seems my mechanic pushed it inside when installing the bushings (I guess he didn't wanted to get wet .) It's amazing the amount of water that poured out after I unbent it. I finally can begin to dry my carpet.

Once again, thanks Cristo, you rock!

Here's some pics for future reference

 

lol. Now we know how to sabotage a friend. I would go back to the mechanic and make sure he knows I wasn't impressed with the stink he caused in my car. Tell him to use a ribbon or something else he can see easily to help him remember next time.

 

Wow thats a lot of water in the drain!!

 

Toaster,

Thanks Cristo !, Thanks Toaster !

 

Wet carpet in my 2012 R60 and I have been searching for this too - now I know where to look! thanks!
