the haynes manual says that there are draining tubes from the evaporator that can become clogged. it says just access the tubes and clear the restriction, but i dont know if i have to remove the dash to get to it. someone with similar problem, please help me locate tubes. thanks

go under the car and you can get to the drain hole there

i was under the car yesterday and i noticed a small rubber hose that seemed to be a drain, located near the firewall pass side with little plastic holders, could this be it? thanks

that would be it

Just a suggestion to clean them out, I did this with my central A/C in my house, it was clogged. So I took a shop vac and a wet rag. You place the shop vac hose over the tube, and then seal it to the tube with the wet rag and turn it on, anything blocking the tube will be sucked out. Works pretty good.

Good luck!

Pipe cleaners also work.

Yeah thats the tubes.. they are near the passenger side front fender well. My car was also leaking bad inside... I tried several things including the wire/rag trick and shooting air into it, none of them worked for me. I didn't feel like taking the dash off to get to it so I took it to my honda dealership and they fixed it for like $30.
