Is there a vent tube for the A/C evaporator box 14' Edge?

[Uncoiler]

If so where might I find it? I'd like to check it and be sure it's not plugged.

If similar to 2007-10, should be on driver side of console, pull back carpeting to reveal. Here's a post related to that:

Any particular issue that prompted this question? If you run the AC for a while and it does not afterwards drip water onto the ground underneath the vehicle (most visible while stationary), that is a situation that likely needs correcting.

I posted a pix from the service manual, in a previous thread. The drain in located at item #4.

If you crawl under the car, it's just an open tube that sticks down a couple on inches. A blast of air should open it, but I would follow up with a can of Lubegard to kill any mold.

Great, thanks I will look for it this weekend as I'm changing the oil.

 

I was a having a stale air smell when I turned on the heater. I have not had a chance to use the A/C yet so didn't check for water dripping, but it's getting warm here now.

 

I suspect I will find the drain hose is not plugged, so it sounds like service with the Lubegard Kool-It is worth a try.
