Water Dripping From Under Passenger Dash
'96 850 GLT Sedan
Whenever I run the AC I've started to notice water dripping from under the passenger side dash. It seems to be worse whenever I take a left-hand turn, at which point it starts pouring out and there is a gurgling sound from under the dash. As far as I can tell the liquid dripping down is just water.
HELP!

Your condensate drain is likely clogged. There is a rubber tube under the center of the climate unit, remove that connection to the nipple that goes through the floorboard and clean it out with a wire. A bowl to catch the water that will start flowing out is a good thing.
To get to the tube remove the lower dash panel and then remove plastic side panel next to your accelerator pedal, behind the carpet. At that point you should be able to access the drain hose.

Success. I drained approximately 16 ounces of water from the drain hose after I pulled it loose from the floor. I'm guessing that a previous owner had the same problem, as I pulled out what looked to be two ten-inch pieces of thick weedeater string from the drain that goes under the car. I'll monitor it over the next few days to make sure it's draining properly.
Thanks guys!
