Started getting the wet floor mat on passenger side this summer when running AC. I’ve removed the lower panel under glove box and see where the water is slowly dripping from.. off the box right above your left foot when sitting in seat. I’m hoping someone could provide specific instructions to find / clear AC drain hose which I believe is the culprit. There’s a lot of discussion online but I’m struggling to find the hose. Do I have to get under the car? Can I get to it from inside? Help would be greatly appreciated!

evaporator drain tube/hose is under the vehicle, front center console/firewall area.
look for a black rubber tube 1-2" in length hanging from the floor pan.

use a plastic rod up thorough the tube to clear up any obstructions.

if youre getting funky smells, suggest you buy an evaporator cleaning kit, which is sprayed up the tube.

To be more specific, you have to access the drain tube from underneath the vehicle. DO NOT ACCESS THE DRAIN TUBE FROM YOUR INTERIOR. YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO REATTACH IT.

When you open your hood, look at the passenger side against the firewall.

This picture is from my 2018. You can see the drain tube hanging down, almost got a pic of a drip of condensate water.

In addition if you pull back the carpet/pad from the top passenger side you will see the drain tube coming from the ac unit and passing thru the fire wall.
Edit: you will need to remove the kick panel on the passenger side center console to pull the carpeting back far enough to gain access to the drain tube/AC connection.
