Question

My ac is smelling bad so Ive read that the drip line could be clogged, Cant find the ac drip line on this explorer, its not where it is on a chevrolet truck that we have, does anyone know how I can find it??

Answer 1

there is a bulletin on a/c bad smell,,ask the ford dealer ..

actually they will only spray an anti bacterial foam inside the evaporator

after market spray is too strong that the  smell  some times  last for a week

if you drain hose is clog , your carpet should be soaking wet already,,

anyway the drain is covered by a plate not visible on top ,,you have to jack up the car and look under neath

Answer 2

directly in the center of the fire wall

Answer 3

From underneath the passenger side of the vehicle locate the underneath of the evaporator/heater core housing. (black plastic w/refrigerant lines entering) On the front of the housing at the bottom is a molded hole about the circumference of your pinkie finger.CAREFULLY insert a sturdy yet flexible item into the hole( I usually use a piece of 5/16 fuel hose ) to dislodge any blockage. I would recommend for health reasons purchasing A/C system anti-mold microbial disinfectant to kill any airborne yuks that could cause respiratory concerns for you. This also will help open up the condensate drain.
