Default A/C Drain Line

I got water on my passenger floorboard. I know its from my ac cuz I just got it fixed and it never did it before. I pulled the carpet up and took the panel under the dash off. the dealer said it is under the accumulator. I, for the life of me, cannot locate the clogged drain line. I looked under the hood, under the car, and in the car. and I can't find ****. so could someone please help me out. thanks a million. Dan

Drains the condensate water off the evaporator, just like a home AC unit. Something like a pipe cleaner into the drain will usually unclog it, do it with the car level if you can.
