Default wet throttle foot !

I just finished 2470 miles in 48 hours through some desert heat up to 105!!!

I began feeling little drops of moisture on my throttle foot, then every now and then a few drops out the ac vents

I searched and found Bill Curlee's 2005 ac drain post/thread.

He mentions 3 udders on the drivers side, my 04 coupe appears to only have two and they both seem dry and empty (I milked as directed).

He also mentions a drain tube under the battery. If this is the same tube and location on a 04 coupe?....Are there any special instructions or resets that I have to do when putting the battery back in?

thanks

Access to the tube is best done from underneath the car on the passenger side up on the fire wall.

The ones you"milked" are for the cowl drains,the one you need to unblock is on the firewall down low on the right side,this is the a/c drain.
