I think my condensate hose is blocked, the big black drum behing the glove box is leaking water. I've heard I can unblock by poking a coat hanger up the drain hose from under the car. Has anyone done this? I have a 2002 Lancer OZ
Thanks, G

I once had an interior water leak from the evaporator housing as well, turned out the previous owner had not routed the drain hose outside the firewall. I had to fish the hose through the access hole so it would drain outside. I would not first use a coat hanger as I think it a bit stiff to be poking into the evap. housing. Might try first one of those auto plastic ties (police handcuff type) that will not do any harm. You can also get an A/C self flushing cleaning agent from an A/C supply store that you could spray up into the drain hose or better if there was an access from under the dash. Might work if its just accumulated crud. It's hard to imagine an 02 having this problem though. Did anyone do any A/C work on the car? Could a small creature have crawled up the drain hose and died?
