Auto Air Conditioning & Heater Repair: Nissan Altima A/C leak, nissan altima, drainage tube


Question
My 2000 Altima has developed a major leak over the passenger side footboard. There is now several inches of water soaking my carpet. I've also noticed some major condensation developing outside the vents. Could this be a clog in an a/c drainage tube, and if so, is this a major repair or perhaps something I could do myself? I'm not terribly familiar with car repairs, but I'm pretty bright and with minimal instruction I think I can fix it... Please help give me direction in what to look for/ do. Thanks!

Answer
OK, It's time to get WET.

Crawl up under the vehicle and just underneath the evaporator plastic housing you will see a slamm hole and or tube about the size of your little finger, Using a plastic straw or other VERY FLEXIBLE device insert it up into the hole or tube and the condensation water will drain out and run down your arm and you will get WET.

This problem is quite simple.
