Default The AC Water Leaking problem *Solution*

ok so like many of you, I had the water dripping down from the clogged AC drain tube, well here is what i did to fix it, and it recquires no unscrewing of ANYTHING, dont have to worry about taking out ur glove box, or evaporator, or anything.

Step 1 - Remove drain tube from firewall, not from evaporator

Step 2 - Head down to nearest gas statiuon where you can go to put air into ur tires, be sure to bring a toil or somin

Step 3 - Stick compressed Air nozzle into end of tube, and fire away for a good 30 seconds, enoguh to break up all the debris that is in there, I kinda did rapid fire, like rapid shots of air, and then u can hear the water bubbling up inside the evaporator

Step 4 - Using a screw driver or somin quickly shove the end of the tube back into the firewall and enjoy seeing a crapload of water falling down from ur engine bay

Step 5 - Drive home and enjoy the fact that every time u take a left turn water no longer comes down from behind ur glove box!

Enjoy

yo puma what you said it does work but it is just a cheap and temporary fix ,,, what do you think is going to happen to all the crap that you are blowing back into the evap that kept it plugged in the first place ???
what do you think lessens air flow out of the vents???
where do you think all the stinky musty smell out of the vents comes from????? from all the crap that is inside the evaporator and collects moisture from a/c condensation .
and 1 more thing the drain hole will plug up again , you have not removed anything just tossed it around ..
you want to do the job right and make it last remove evap, take all the junk out of it , clean both cases and foam insulator with soap and water or new insulator if it is coming apart from all the water that accumulated there ,,spray some fridgy-fresh and put it all together ..
