Hi guys,

I've got a small mini-emergency. I'm just about to head out on a cross-country roadtrip and I discovered water coming out of the floor A/C vents on the passenger side and that my floor jack is busted.

I'm almost certain that the A/C drain hose is clogged and I REALLY want to get it taken care of before I get a swap by my GF's feet. I know where I need to look at and where it's located so it should only take about 10 minutes. Is there anyone in the I-90 area in NY or MA that can help a guy out?

Quick Update from South Dakota: I got the car on a curb and things looked ok but the drip persisted. Next, I took it to a shop near Chicago that said the drain hose wasn't fitting correctly so they adjusted it and the water was draining better. Even then, the drip inside the car is still there. At this point, we're managing it using a system of paper towels and a couple of zip-lock bags. I checked the cabin air filters and they look ok. I don't know what it is, but it's going to have to wait a few weeks.

use the car's scissor jack + jack stands?


could you just stick a bent wire in the hose until the clog comes out?

the scissor jack didn't quite get the car high enough for the jack stands. I poked the tube as much as I could reach it with the coat hanger, and it seems ok so far.

how high are your curbs? you could drive the right side on the curb and crawl underneath.

No cabin air filter? Dirty cabin air filter? I change my cabin air filter every 1- 2 years even though that's not the recommended life cycle. I have a jack but too far from you. Hope it works out now that you got the coat hanger to it.
