Hello, cleaned the drains because of rain getting into the cabin. Now with the hot summer am getting water/condensation from the AC in the cabin. Is there a drain that I have missed?

Thanks, Kevin

    The is also a drain for the a/c evaporator core. The drain is most commonly located on the passenger side of the firewall about two thirds of the way down. There may be a rubber drain tube to remove before you can begin cleaning out the main evaporator drain.
