carpet wet passenger side - Toyota Yaris Forums

I can't say exactly where it is on the car but I know the general location for most cars. If you get under the car near the fire wall you will see a rubber house coming out of the firewall and pointing down. This is the AC drain hose. Usually if something is clogged its in there you can clear it one of two ways. Either use a straightened cloths hanger and gently put it in the tube and wiggle around or you can use compressed air to clear the clog.

This is kind of common as the water leaving the ac system doesn't build up much pressure to get out of the car.

As far as how much a deal would cost?? I don't think I have ever seen anyone charged for clearing the clog. Usually people ask about it when they are getting an oil change and the car is up in the air already. As I said I have never seen anyone charged for this. I worked at dealers for 6 years.

P.S VERY IMPORTANT. I forgot to tell you that often when you clear the hose water will GUSH out. The amount of water that comes out will depend on how much water the system can hold before it overflows into the car(whats happening to you).

So try not to be directly underneath the hose.
