Default the vette got ME wet?!

Took a 5 hour trip up to NC last weekend and had the ac on the entire time (couldn't roll the windows down, just got them tinted). For the most part my trip was uneventful, except for when I got off on my exit and made a right turn...seemed like a half gallon of cold water dumped on my foot ! Scared the living crap out of me (I was wearing flip-flops)!

Well, from what I know there are two bladders that drain the ac on either side of the car? How do I get to them? Is it a PITA? Thanks for the helpful responses in advance!

John

Just get under the car, you can't miss them, they look like nipples, use a pipe cleaner and the water will gush out.

No need to get under the car. Cleaned mine out last weekend from the top-side of the engine compartment. Good pictures at...

On my 01, to get at the right side drain tube, I have to pull the battery to get at it.
