I've noticed that my passenger floor becomes damp when driving distances of 20 miles or with the A/C on. I think this is probably being caused by a blockage in the drain hose for the A/C. I looked under the passenger side and couldn't find it. Now I think that it may be under the driver side and the backup up is just revealing itself by water collecting on the pass. side. At any rate, does anybody know exactly where I can find the hose and how to clear it?

Condensate drains are on BOTH sides of the trans tunnel about 2/3 of the way up thelength of the trans towards the front.

There is a black rubber nipple on each side - just twist it 90 deg and pull and it pops off - all the crap drains out - reinstall as opposite.

Do this when exhaust is cold or you'll probably scorch your arm getting to them.

I found them on mine, the nipple was a lot smaller than I was expecting. I didn't have to even remove mine, it was clogged on the outside by road grime. By merely touching it and shifting the grime a cup of water came pouring out.

thanks guys, I bet that is it and also the reason I couldn't find the drain...I was looking for something more like a hose!

I appreciate the quick responses.
