Thread: A/C Drain line clogged.

Oh buddy, Mods gonna have a field-day with this. The "How to" section is strictly for write-ups, not for discussion. So expect it to be moved sometime soon.

In answer to one of the questions in your PM. TL is initials for first and middle name, Sheff is last name. Just for online purposes to still give me privacy but usually not taken by others. I always hate those John25661293 and TLSheff is common for most things I do, my "digital Handle" if you will.

Now onto the main topic. Should you have not seen or read this, I would give it a look over, could have some better pics and may apply to what you are dealing with. http://www.grandprixforums.net/water...-fix-6961.html
I suggest this because usually there is very little water condensation built up inside, but this is what the drain is for. If you having alot it would suggest either water is draining down into it (see link above) or there is a leak in heater-core or something else to cause such a build-up.

Now it could just be alot of condensation over time not getting out so here is a exploded view of the AC system. The yellow part is the drain seal, the 90* rubber drop down/hose doesn't show up in the illustration. Still perhaps this will help a little.

I did not plan it on being a discussion, I really thought cleaning it would work, then I was going to edit my original post once I figured out the easy way to get there. If they want to move it, then once I get it figured out, I can repost.

I figured that, that is why I asked in a PM, I figured you did not want to share it on the web.

I did read that. I wonder if the 06 comes with that mod already? My car looked like it had the little positioning tab sticking out. I don't have any water in the floor as of yet, just hear a sloshing sound.

Yes it helps. Bad news, looks like where it splits and the bolts come from the top, you have to drop it down. To drop it down, you have to disconnect the evaporator. The other thing I see is the tube that protrudes through the firewall, is at the bottom of a little valley. I wonder of something above it is clogging it? Maybe I just pushing it out of the way, then the slope allows it to settle back down.
Anybody any thoughts?
