My drivers side floor is soaked when i use the A/C, and its soaked from under the pedals to under my seat. I looked at the drain in the engine bay, and nothings coming out, so i know that's the prob. i tried shoving a metal rod in there to clean it out, but nothing came out. Any tips on cleaning out the drain? or do i have to take out my dash or something. Please help!! Thanks
 
Thanks for the suggestion, i tried it, but nothing came out. I think i need to go from the other side and use compressed air o something, but i don't know where the other side is. Is there an FAQ for this or something?
 
Not that I've seen, but it could be your chance to become an author. Sounds like your drain hose may have fallen off, or become cracked. Start by pulling the passenger seat so your neck won't be angry with you for the next month, and look for one of those helmets with the little spotlight on the visor.
 
If your drain hose is still attached, get a air nozzle with a skinny end, insert it into the hose and blow. Have your A/C on high blower speed. If it is clogged water will come out. Oh, buy the way, if you are doing this under the vehicle you may get soaked.
 
Alright thanks for the suggestions, but mr. crotchkiller, could you rephrase what you wrote, i don't really understand what your saying. Have the AC on high, or just the blower? and air nozzle? what's that. Thanks again
 
Blower speed on high. Any kind of air "blower" connected to compressed (shop) air. The hose most likely won't blow off but if it does it just slides back on.
