I was recently working on my autostart, programming another remote, and i couldn't find the box, so i had to search under my dash, and while reaching around under there, i've dislodged my Condensation Drain Tube from whatever it connects to under the dash, its leading out of the firewall, but i'm not sure what it connects to inside the cab. I found out something was wrong when i was in a carwash and my floorboard got flooded : /

That drain tube goes to the heater core box under the dash, behind the glove box.
 






Does it come in two sections, i don't believe the piece i have will reach, and is it Accesible without taking anything apart?
 






You might have to take the glove box out but that is really simple. The only other item is the plastic shroud under the dash, covering the heater-core. That piece is on the passenger side, under the dash, you can get to it without any dis-assembly other than the 4 or 6 screws holding that cover in place, once they are removed, you have full access to the heater core.
 






I was looking under the dash on the passenger side and found a hose just like this one, but its all connected, maybe i should have mentioned, the hose i'm referring to is on the Driver's side.
 






Yes, that would make a difference. The only other drain tube that I can think of it the condensate drain tube for the AC condenser and that should be under the hood, not under the dash. Are you sure it's a drain tube and not a vacuum line? (can't think of any vacuum lines in that area either though)
 






I don't believe its a vacuum line, Its the clear dingy color, i don't think the hose would stand up to a vacuum, it would just fold in.
plus if its a vacuum line leaking water into my floorboard i've got bigger problems >.>

Thank you for your help Fixxer :D
 






This hose is going out of the side of the wall, beside the fuse box, its 12 to 18 inches long.
I think i might just plug it and see how that works out.
