I have a 2001 E-150. Water is accumulating in the evaporator housing and running into the passenger floorboard. It is clean water, no other fluids. I am pretty sure the drain tube is clogged, but I have looked and just cannot find it.

Hello,

Lucky you, we just finished this video that shows the AC drain location. You must be living right. :)

Thanks, but I cannot find the tube. I felt all around the evaporator housing, even looked at pictures of replacement parts, and there is no hole in it. The cover on the heater core has a 1" hole at the bottom that comes back through the firewall. Would that be it? I tried cleaning it out with a coat hanger and air compressor, but got no debris or water out of it.

Yes, it sounds like you found it, if no water comes out it not plugged is it possible the tube feel off. Can you upload a video or pictures so I can see what you are looking at?
