Does anyone have a picture or diagram of where our ac drain tube is at?? I am trying to use the toyota ac refresh kit however i cant seem to find our ac tube. i have tried to do a search but cant find a picture


Thanks in advance

There is no such thing, To my knowledge there is only a high and low pressure valve.... You would have to go to the shop and get it drained. The chemical is very dangerous if disposed improperly and inhaled. One other thing you could do is release it into the air (which is not recommended and illegal) like those Honda guys. Good luck with the DIY.

u really looking for the drain tube? its under the car....passenger side. but what is the refresh kit your talking about? u trying to charge your ac?


PLEASE, if u dont know what your talking about don't post...every car has a drain for condensation.

if he is really referring to the drain its under the car on the passenger side i believe. i'mnot sure what he's talking about with a refresh kit, i got a feeling he's looking for the low side port to charge this car though....

I think you are correct, right front near the tire.

This is the refresh kit i purchased from lexus. Its basically to clear out the musty smell you get from your ac. Yea i was confused because I was researching other threads and it said not to get it confused for the radiator drain.

yeah i remember putting on my new TRD sway and it dripping on me

musty smell would be caused by mildew or something in the system or by condensation sitting there,and again, mildewing. i would assume its just like a coil cleaner they shooting up into the drain to remove any contaminants that are sitting there mildewing. how much was that kit from lexus?

radiator drain is ON the radiator BTW no way to get them confused

this is the thread that confused me. Sorry im a rookie when it comes to this car stuff. Tried to research it and couldnt come up with the answer.

The kit was like 27.00 i believe i forget i bought it like 3 months ago just havent had the time to try it out. It states that it is suppose to kill all the mildew and bacteria that causes the foul odor. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KUhBUxa904 found a video that shows how to use it. Other members have found success, so well see

per the video it seems to just be a coil cleaner like i said to kill the mildew, its a simple process man. i have no skid plate under my car anymore but you should easily be able to see it when you get under there

LMAO!!! OMG!! YOU CANT be serious. Any car will AC has a drain tube. You never noticed when you are running your AC, there is condensate puddle under the car!?! Please if you don't know what you are posting or not truly 100%, don't post at all. If that tube becomes plugged, the water will back up inside of your car and get your carpet wet. Trust me I KNOW from experience.

They sell a Kilma Clean Kit that has a long tube that is inserted in your middle vent and the tube extends to the core to clean and kill mildew. That's what he is talking about. I wanted to use this in my old car but the middle vent had a screen inside of it, IDK if our cars have the screen behind the vent. Will check.

Mine is starting to drip again. I thought I addressed the issue by running hot air without the ac on. Anyway, guess I need to revisit this. What am I looking for? There is a half dollar sized round thing behind the front right tire. Would this be the plug? It is about 3/4 of the way up that wall. What do I need to clean it out with? Thanks for any easy fix recommendations. I changed out my cabin filters and this is the first recurrence since then. This is a new vehicle for me, so I am not as familiar with these things.
