2005 T-bird Air Conditioner Drain

[jessieh3527]

Can anyone tell me where the drain hose comes out on a 2005 T-Bird. I have a musty smell, and the air conditioner has very little drainage. What I am seeing might be leaking through the body. If I can find the hose, I will blow out any blockage and try to get the water flowing out.

Thanks.

First of all WELCOME to the Forum

There have been other owners questioned this as well, and an answer from a Ford dealer service adviser said:
"The ac drain is on the right side center above the bell housing then runs down to the right floor board.
We had a customer who bought back early 02 every time they stopped at a light saw steam from under the hood and heard a sizzel. Turns out the factory failed to install drain from the evaporator correctly."

Hope this helps you. By the way, if it's not hot/humid out you may not get trhat much condensation. It may depend on where you ar in the US.

Thank you for the reply. I will try to look for it again. It is very humid here in Louisville, plus, the window will steam up on a restart and I have a damp musty smell.

I do have a small amount of drippage, but it seems to be coming from between the body and thin heat shield, about 1/4 way back the door, over the Cat Converter
