AC Condensation Drain Tube Clogged

Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem? My FJ has been leaking water onto the passenger side floorboard for weeks, and if you turn the radio off it sounds like there's a fountain under the dash. To top it off now when I hit the brakes or turn left quickly, the fan is hitting the water & sounds like a hissing/bubbling sound. It has been suggested the drain tube may be plugged - anyone familiar with where that is located? Might be a good routiene maintenance item to check for so this doesnt happen to anyone else...

Not cool.
I think it is on the passenger side near the front wheel well. I will check mine at lunch and see if I can find it.

Checked for you Terry it is in the passenger side front wheel well behind that piece of rubber that covers the gap. Hope it is an easy fix.

Re: AC Condensation Drain Tube Clogged

I had this problem with my wifes Camry 2 times.
The cause of hers was a dirt dabber nest in the ac condensation line.
Quick fix. Old wire hanger run up the line.
Permanent fix. Wasp spray the dirt dabbers in carport.

I am not jokeing about this it happened 2 diffrent times.

Re: AC Condensation Drain Tube Clogged

It happened to my dodge mini-van. The way the tube ends in the engine bay, at higher speed, air was somewhat pushing water back into the hose. This results backflow into the passenger floor well. The solution was to add longer hose.

Perhaps this is the problem with yours?
