I have a clogged ac condenser drain line on a 2007 Lexus IS350. Where is the drain located so I can blow it out. I put it on a rack and looked but could not find it. I'm assuming it goes right out from the consender housing throught the firewall and that I should be able to see it from below. Please advise where the end of the drain is located and how I can find it. Thanks.

    I got under the car and could not locate the drain, as I wrote in my question. Even though I knew it is on the passenger side firewall, and I looked at length for it, I could not see it. What is nearest the end of the ac condenser drain line I could use as a landmark to find it, because I have looked and looked and just cannot see it (from under the car, on a lift)? Where, exactly, is the a/c drain line? Thanks.

HI. The drain is the only rubber drain hose under the front of the cabin(passenger side). This hose runs right by the exhaust, make sure it's not plugged. You can blow compressed air up this tube to unclog it or stick a long slender nail up the tube. Compressed air works better. Look for a 1/2 inch size rubber tube under the car in the section i stated. above.

For HVAC the tube I think is the drain tube is black, about 3/8" ID, with some bends in it, you need removed the kick panel by the passenger footwell, and could not see anything you could do there.

it's probably condensate from the evaporator thats draining onto the floor on the passenger side. Check the drain tube thats on the firewall under the passenger side and make sure it's not crimped, etc that would prevent the condensate from dripping out onto the ground. Run the a/c and look under the car on the passenger side and see if you have water dripping out the drain tube, if not, it's probably clogged up somehow.

The drain tube connects to the evaporator housing and directs the collected water that condenses on the evaporator core through the firewall to drip on the ground . You can see the drain tube if you get under the car near the firewall on the passenger side and you should have water dripping out of the tube with the a/c running. If you're not seeing any water dripping on the ground, the drain tube is either disconnected or clogged up and in either case the condensed water will drip onto your passenger side carpeting instead of on the ground.

My Ac is blowing out hot the condenser and compressor have both been changed but the the fan and the clutch aren’t kicking on. I have also replaced the relay and I don’t know where to go from here any...

Make sure the condenser is running. If not see if the breaker (AC) has tripped. If condenser is running, check copper lines. The bigger line should be cold. If not, then it could be low on refrigerant. At the air handler, there may be a a safety switch this switch could be full of water, inditcating a clogged drain line.

Where1999 gmc yukon rear ac drain line location

If you have a rear a/c unit look behind the passenger side wheel well. There will be 4 a/c lines going up to the condenser on the floor board. In that area there is a 1/4 rubber nipple that will appear closed and flat. work it between your fingers to loosen gunk, then put a wire or screw driver in about 12" and it should free any clogs

2003 Toyota Landcruiser - dripping water from AC unit inside car, passenger floor board...AC works fine...clogged drain line ???

yes the drain line is clogged,, its located along the firewall and is a bear to see,, if you get under the vehicle, and look along the edge you'll see it don't blow air into it , that will just make the clog worse, take a wire, and gently ease it up into the tube, working slowly , be ready to get wet,, once you loosen the clog the water behind it will flush it out, and sometimes there is quite a lot

Condensate drain clog Water is heard in the dash when you come to a stop I am looking for the water drain path 2008 Fit 28,000miles

I would look underneath the car for the end of the drain line. If you can locate it, run something up it and see if you can get it opened up. If you've got a string trimmer, this line works good for something like this.

I am 6'1 with super long thighs and I can find a comfortable driving position in my IS350. However, if you are planning on putting people behind the driver seat in a regular basis then my suggestion is to look else where.
