Air conditioner drain . . .

Where the heck is that thing? I'm sure mine's clogged up somewhere. Can I clean it out from the underside of the vehicle or is it easier to go from the interior? I know it's not a sunroof drain that's getting my feet wet. It hasn't rained here in months. I just bought this and after driving around a bit, there's water on my feet. Seems to slosh to both sides of the front footwells. No bad smell yet, but if I don't figure this out, I'm sure mold will grow eventually. I have a long skinny brush that I use for cleaning out the hose on my camelback that I'm sure would clean the pipe out, if I can locate it of course . . .

Help!

It is easy enough to find if you first remove the cabin air filter, you can see the pipe (which on my right-hand drive ML is on the passenger side), you can remove the pipe and either blow through it or find some more hygenic method of clearing/testing it.

Thanks Marcel. I dove in this afternoon and found that pipe/hose thing. It was plugged and I blew it out with the air compresser.

All fixed
