Hi guys, not sure what this hose is and have tried searching all over on parts lists. It keeps leaking water. Any ideas?
Just noticed the leak and the check engine light just turned on.
The hose is basically behind the passenger side glove box/foot rest area.
Thanks for any help!
You can see the water dripping in a couple pics.

Maybe on a separate note, I took car to AAMCO and the reader said I have Cylinder 6 misfire...maybe connected or not?? Any help guys, thanks again.

Drain for the collection area at the bottom of the windshield is my guess!

No offense, but looks like your engine needs a wash.

Wouldn't the AC condenser be belt driven and further forward on the vehicle?

You would not want to see my engine. Or rather, you would not like to see the mud shell that covers my engine

If it's new or had it for a week, no prob. Now if it turns to look like a beehive, then i'll leave that upto you.

do you have a moonroof if so it may be a drain for that

I clean off the radiator. Everything else, meh, why bother? I'm not taking it to car shows, I'm driving through mud puddles

That looks like the drain hose for the AC Evaporator housing. Condensation normally collects in the Evaporator housing located under the dashboard, the hose is to allow the water to drain out of the housing.

The AC "compressor" is belt driven, the AC "condenser" is located in front of the radiator. Two different components.

I also assumed it's an overflow drain for the windshield. Looks similar to what was on my Jeeps.

I've got the same problem as shown here. Reading through this thread, I don't see a definitive answer. Does anyone know for sure what this drain is for?

Air conditioning EVAPORATOR case drain. It is normal for water to come out of there, in fact it should always be unobstructed and leaking fluid when the A/C is on.

Remember guys, the Condenser is up in front of the radiator and condenses the refrigerent from a gasesous state to a liquid state before going through the compressor, then it goes through the evaporator to expand rapidly and give you that nice cool air out your vents!

It is a gas vent intake suction hose for the regenerative fanturbulator. What ever you do leave it alone. It could cross section while running and spit unmodulated resector fan shroud condensation onto the turbulator screen. Then you would have all hell to pay for sure.:wow2:....it's all in your owners manual

:rtfm:

I'm having the same issue, with water dripping inside the truck. Does anyone have step-by-step instructions or pictures on how to fix this? I pulled back the carpet and took out the glove box, but now I'm stuck....
Thanks!!
