Dodge: 2000 Dodge Dakota air-conditioning problem, dodge place, coat hanger


Question
For the last two summers, everytime I run the air-conditioning in my 2000 dakota, water accumulates on the floor on the front passenger side.  I live in Louisiana where it is very humid and I think the water removed from the air is not draining properly.  I can't find where it is draining from, and when I asked the mechanic at the Dodge place he seemed to have no idea, even though other Dakota owners have told me they have the same problem.  Do you have any idea how to fix to this problem?

Answer
On the passenger side of the vehicle there is a drain hose that drains off any excess water,this is usually where the water you see dripping in the summer time is coming from.Locate the hose and run a coat hanger or something up in it easily.They can become clogged with a moldy type substance and this will restrict the drainage.You will have to look to find it.It should be aroung the passenger side firewall.
