Air Conditioner Problems
I have a 1995 Corvette. My Air Conditioner works just fine except for the fact that it drains inside the car on the passenger side. I mean I could almost stock fish over there. I've tried to locate the drain tube from underneath, but with no luck.
Could someone please tell me where the drain is located so I can clean it out. I'm hoping it's just plugged. Also, I've tried to find a website with illustrations to help me find the drain on the system, but again with no luck. So if someone knows of such a site would you please post the address for me.
Thanks,
Dave

The AC/Delco part number is 1533111. It's a clear, plastic tube located underneath the vehicle on the passenger side. It's best viewed with the car on ramps or a lift.
You should be able to use a short section of wire pipe cleaner or a coat hanger to free any debris or mold in the tube. Be sure the tube is not crimped before attempting to clean out.

Thanks for the response. I've looked underneath and found a pencil eraser sized hole on the bottom of the housing that was plugged. Thanks again.
