Where is the A/C condensate drain at on a 1998 Ford Ranger? I noticed it just drips from the inner fender and down the frame just didn't know if it is supposed to drain there or somewhere else.

Yes, the case has a split that drains out the bottom. Nothing comes through the firewall because the evaporator is on the outside.

No, it's directly under the part that creates the condensation.

Yes, many vehicles have the evaporator in the engine compartment side.
