Default 07 Ranger Aircon Condensation leak into cabin

My son has a UK 4 Cyl Ranger. When Aircon is on for ~15min, drips fall onto passenger footwell.

I assume this is due to condensation and a blocked drain.

Can someone point me to the drain location please.

Thanks ColinK

Check this out I think this could be your problem

Wet floor, sloshing sound, no drainage from the wiper cowl --> fix

The drain for the evaporator is under the ac lines that run into the firewall near the bottom of the vehicle. All you will see is like a little rubber elbow.

Thanks for the suggestion. Leak is only when Aircon is on, but I will check this to prevent future.

Thanks for the info. Could you give me more info where I find the lines and elbow. Do I need to jack the ranger up or put on a ramp?

======

I am assuming this elbow is blocked, can I remove it to clean? How / where does the water that should be going through the elbow (I assume) get into the footwell?

Thanks ColinK

You will probably have to jack the truck up and clean it out with a small screwdriver or such. When the drain is clogged the condensation leaks out of the heater box into the floor.

A shop vac works better.
