Question wet carpet

My carpet in my 03 gets wet where your feet are but only when the ac has been ran. Is there a drain tube that might be clogged or damaged causing this wet problem?

yup, the a/c drain tube sticks out through the firewall on the passenger side of the truck (i assume its the passenger side carpet thats wet) and is known to become clogged, an unbent coathanger and some patience should solve the problem

Ok...tried cleaning it out but it didnt help....can i slightly blow air in it to help?.... Or how hard is it to pull the air box out? The water soaks the sponge material at the inside of the fire wall then fills up the floorpan on the passenger side

It's a real b!tch to remove the air box. Sounds like it's still plugged. You might try a baby nipple brush to push up there. Air shouldn't hurt anything.
