    Unclogging AC drain tube

    Hello, I'm a bit of noob when it comes to this stuff so I was hoping y'all might be able to give me a bit of guidance here.

    My girl says the floor boards in her 2000 protoge are getting wet and I'm guessing it's more than likely a clogged AC drain tube...

    I read that I might be able to unclog this with a wire hangar. So where exactly is this located and what does it look like??

    Thanks in advance!

    Should be a black rubber tube that is located on the passenger side firewall. Just look and see where the AC lines go into firewall. The tube should be below 2 AC lines.

      Ok great I found it, a little black tube just bare sticking out of the firewall. Is there anyway to unclog it other than compressed air? If not, where would I go to have them shoot compressed air up in there??

      Thanks in advance!!

        I have used a screw driver before,but coat hanger is fine. Just remember if you feel a binding like your bending metal stop. Most the time its just dirt in the tube.

          go to any pc shop and get a can of dust blaster or whatever it happens to be called ( compressed air in a can) if you want to blow it out ... wire or screwdriver will work just as well

            I used my compressor. You won't be able to get the compressed air can straw to seal well enough for it to do any good. Use a screwdriver.
