Flood HELP!! AC drain pipe clog?

[azreal1983]

Hello

I have tried blowing some compressed air in the drain pipe to clear it. - however this hasn't helped
I have also seen water still dripping from inside near the center heat matrix area, from a join in the ducting area so I assume its still an issue.

I have posted a video to youtube sorry for the waving

It looks like the hose might be split or something, as water is dripping down perhaps further back in the pipe.

My question is, how do I get access to the other side of the pipe.

I have taken back all the carpet to let it dry, and removed the glovebox,

I think i have found where it goes through the bulkhead/firewall, however it has plastic over it. Tracing the plastic it seems to be a part of the heat matrix. do i have the remove everything to see the other side of the pipe? Does that require an AC recharge and recharge? (also a dash removal)

I can start to take off the blower motor, etc and get access but dont want to get stuck with a loads of bits, and end up in the garage/shop anyway.

I have read people mentioning the pipe being clear, not black, also saying that they can see the clog on the other side of the pipe.

If anyone can help it would be really great

In the past, I had this issue with my Miata a few times. The clog was in the bottom of the housing, not the hose itself. I usually just poked a screw driver up into the blower case and that would knock the clog loose. A coat hanger could do the job if you have a bend to negotiate.

Cheers for the advice.
Where would you push? DO you mean the bottom of the condenser housing? It doesn't really open well. Do you recommend wedging it in via the gap?

Do you mean the blower housing or the housing of the air con matrix? I pulled the sensor out, and put a webcam down, couldnt see any clogs, Its still dripping though :-(

How did you get a screw driver in? Is there anything I could flush through it to clean it?
