Hello, I own a 2020 ram 1500 classic tradesman and I was trying to troubleshoot a leak under the dashboard glove compartment area. Seems to be excess condensation causing a drip into underneath the carpet. I already put vacuum to the drain tube and also hit it with compress air.

any help would be much appreciated

Does the drain tube stick straight out of the bulkhead in the engine compartment? If it does, put a 90* elbow on it. That solves it for the second gens at least.

Yes it does stick straight out. I put a shop vac to that to see if maybe it was a clogged drainage tube issue but that didn't seem to be the case. I went to look for heater hose 90° elbow so I could clamp it on. But couldn't find any a home depot I will need to continue to look. Thanks for the help. I put the 90°(heater hose w/clamp) elbow on the ac drain tube but the ac condensation leak is still occurring inside at the same previous area in the picture.
