    Just received some heavy rain over the last few days.. Went to turn on the AC/heater and noticed water dripping from under the glove compartment. This was accompanied with the sound of some intermittent sizzling. When I turned the fan on high, also noticed a weird humming like sound. From what I've read- this sounds like a plugged AC Drain..

    Tips for de- plugging it? Anyone have any pictures to which tube is the AC drain/best way to access it?

    THANKS!

    Sounds like your leak is higher up, windshield or seam under cowl. Look at the TSB list at the top of the thread list.

    Passenger side firewall. Run a zip tie into it from under the hood to unplug it. Then you could also pull the filter and make sure it is clean and not wet.
