Default A/C drain hole

I have a passenger floorboard that is completely covered in newspaper to soak up all the water that is draining on it from the air conditioning, I've looked for the a/c drain hole and cannot seem to locate it to clean it out. I know it will probably be difficult to describe it's location but if someone could give me a hint it would help a bunch, thanks guys.

Tim

It is underneath on either side of the "hump" between the passenger and driver foot wells. They are 2 small black rubber nipples. Search there are quite a few pics floating around.

About even with the firewall. Get under your truck, look "up" on either side of the trans - you'll see the nipples. If I can recall, the one of the passenger's side is more visible. They're about 1/4 inch square at the base, black rubber, forming a point.

Alternatively, if it's not completely plugged, park your car on dry pavement with the A/C on, wait until some condensation drips from the car, and look up from there.

Give the nipples a squeeze and a pinch. You'll be surprised how much water is in them - be careful.

Its always a good idea to squeeze her nipples once and awhile.
I do mine every other oil change.

Had the problem in my pick up. Used a small wet and dry vacuum on it. Hit it once and it started dripping. Next day still water dripping inside. Got under it again. Got about a 1/4 gallon out of the thing. Have not had to do my Disco yet.

Ok found them and drained them, we'll see if i have to do anything else. But as described I ended up with water and land rover sludge all over my arm.

Sadly, because of this poor engineering, the whole dashboard has to be removed in order to get to the condenser box to clean it. While the dash is apart the air ducts should be cleaned of any Styrofoam etc and the heater core should be replaced. At any AC/Heater shop this job will take at least a day or two and will cost you around $2000.00. This will be, for a 95 perhaps more than the vehicle is worth.
