Toyota Repair: Funny odor in 2001 Toyota Sienna, glovebox, toyota sienna

Question
Hi.  I'm the same guy who wrote last night.  The first thing I think I'm going to try is see if the A/C condensation tube is blocked.  I have a 2001 Sienna.  Is my easiest way of getting to the condensation tube by removing the glovebox?  I tried to earlier today, and after taking out two obvious screws, the glovebox was still held in very fast at the bottom.  Any ideas as to how to get it out completely?  Or is there a better access to the condensation tube somewhere else?  Lastly, once I finally find this tube, how do I truly determine whether it's blocked?  And if it is blocked, how do I clean it out and then return it to where it was?  Thanks much!!!


Answer
Generally I try to clear them from the bottom. It's much eaier to just pull debris, if any out from the bottom than fish out the top & blow the line out with compressed air.


For the glove-box you generally pull the trim off the two trim pieces from the bottom of the glove box & unbolt the entire glovebox. There will be wiring on the glovebox for the trunk switch & glove box light.
