Default Water in Floorboard

Well I am pulling into the house last night and hear what sounds like water going through a pipe and then the coldness on my foot....condensate from the air conditioner now pours onto the floorboard when I make a turn (left floorboard on right turn, etc) its annoying and my feet were wet all day

Wtf is up with this? Its NOT draining onto the floor in the garage so obviously something got pulled or messed up somewhere...any ideas guys?

Hmmm there is supposed to be a outlet for the water condensation. It's a rubber grommet type thing It probably hardened or got shut some how. I dunno, Sounds like something is detached. a collector of some kind. Wierd and I apologize for being nieve on this topic. sorry ol'friend.

My floor board was wet and it was a bad heater core. So 12 hours of me busting my *** and 400 dollar in used parts later since my dash broke from the sun..... It was fixed.

Right below the dryer is a short rubber tube coming out of the fire wall. This is the condensation drain. Trying sticking something like a pen or something similar inside it. I had to clean mine out awhile back because Dirt Dobbers had built a nest inside of it.

Its the Cylinder shaped looking thing right behind your air intake on the firewall right beside the computer. I think its black. The rubber drain valve is located somewhere below it.

Same thing happened to me i was on my way to ocean city MD and my a/c quit blowing and it was 102*. Not fun. I pulled over and loked around the drain tube and no dripping, dirt n crud blocked the tube and all i did was took a pen adn bent up one of the wifes bobby pins and poked around a bit and "woosh" a ton of water (and crap) came shooting out.
