By baggage area, I meant the area behind the back seat over the engine compartment.

And thank, DENNIS. I didn't know where to start.

The drain tubes are behind the vent grills on the outside. After removing the grills reach behind and fish them out. There are check valves on the bottom that often get clogged. Resist the temptation to just remove them. They are needed to prevent air from blowing up and preventing the water from draining. Unless someone broke something up there there should be no reason to have to lower the unit make the pan drain again.

The condensate water is leaking down from up top into the baggage area. I removed the "D" pillar covers thinking I could check drainage hoses, but the water is coming some where under the evaporator and l am puzzled as to how to get to it without lowering the whole assembly to get the plastic cover off. Seems like that cover with the vent in back is made as part of the unit, and boy, I DO NOT want to lower the whole thing. BTDT once to change the expansion vale and don't want to do it again. A major PITA! Down here in the humid south we have huge amounts of condensate from our cars.

Anybody got suggestions for this. Would be appreciated.

John
