wmbeckham1of3 Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Over the past couple months, I have noticed liquid getting into the passenger floor board of my 2010 fusion.... Obviously this is more than likely the AC condensation leaking because of the drain being clogged. This is likely due to me always parking under a tree at most time which likely caused it to get clogged. I've done my fair amount of research to figure out where the drain line is but I just can't seem to find it. I'm sure its pretty far down under the hood. And if someone does happen to know where it is, what would be the best way to go about un-clogging it? I seen people used canned air, just spraying it into the hole? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drolds1 Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Welcome to the FFF. The drain is low on the firewall on the passenger side. You haven't indicated which engine your car has. If it's the 3.0, it'll be easier to get under the car and look up. If it's the 2.5, you might be able to see it from above. See this video. FF to 4:10 to see where the drain outlet is on your car and how to clean out any debris that may be clogging the line. Let us know how you make out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmbeckham1of3 Posted December 10, 2023 Author Share Posted December 10, 2023 (edited) Thanks, was able to stick a clothes hanger in the hole. Not sure if it did the trick or not but I watched that video and it was helpful! Do you know how I would tell if it worked or not? Maybe by turning the ac on full blast and looking down at the hole to see if liquid is dripping out? Someone else recommended me changing the cabin air filter. I believe I did that about 2 years ago, not sure if now would be a good time to replace it or not. I did just check the filter and it did look like it should be replaced but I doubt that would be the main thing causing the problem.

Does the weather in your area warrant running the AC right now? If so, then do so and see if water drips out of the drain. If not, one person used a long zip tie to clear the drain, as it's more flexible than a wire coat hanger. Depending on the environment in your area and how much you run your HVAC, it may be time to change the cabin filter. (I change mine every 15K, but YMMV). However, that's not related to this issue Edited December 10, 2023 by drolds1 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
