Default A/C Drain Tube - WHERE? PICS PLEASE (air Condition , Leaks , Water , Passenger)

Where is the A/C Drain Tube at? I need a pic please..

My car started to have water in the passenger side after I had my a/c fixed.. seems like it is coming from the a/c .. so I searched and found it could be the a/c drain tube.. need to know where it is..

Thanks!

The drain tube is in the engine bay on the passenger side close to the fire wall. It either comes out right next to the inner fender or inside the wheel well. I can't remember exactly. It's a black tube that goes towards the fender then makes a 90 degree turn down to the ground.

actaully, it goes through the firewall into the engine bay and bends downward, no where near the the fender.

If i remember correctly that tube just slids over a nipple from the ductwork insid the car. You should be able to reach up there and pull the tube off?just work the lip around the fire wall free

Look underneath the glove box, there is this black round thing the evaporator. There is a hose about 8-10" long, you may need to pull back the carpet and the black underlining to see it. The hose runs out to through the firewall, below the battery tray area. It will bend 90 degree's out.

Usually when you are sensing water, its the evaporator core that is "freezing over" and starts to "sweat" out of the evaporator which probably leads to water dripping down kinda like condensation.

You may want to open it up also to get rid of the misc. crap its gathered over the years like leaves, branches, dead animals etc. Usually when that happens, it means the evaporator is going bad when its freezing over.
