[DML] Re: AC Leak In Passenger Compartment?

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Remove the heater fan and try to get as much junk out of the box as
you can. Use a vacuum with a long, small hose. Once you get as much
out as you can, try to use a wire to poke into the drain. It isn't
easy. The other way is to jack up the car, find the drain hose and
poke from the other end. Trouble with that approach is the junk will
still be in there and will plug it up again. Usually the passenger
will complain about all of that cold water dripping on her feet! Take
the carpet out and dry it thourghly so you don't get any mold.
