Default AC Evaporator Drain

I have a '95 SC300. It is my understanding that if the ACevaporator drain is clogged then the smelly dogs take over. Can someone help out and point me in the right place? Also what's the perfered method of cleaning out the drain?

Thanks

Dennis

I've been searching around here for info on this too. I have a 99 GS4. Just yesterday I noticed a trickle of condensate water dripping into my passenger front footwell. The drain tube out of the engine block is a slow drip, so I clearly have a backed up pool of water somewhere. A/C is working cold as ever. Checked the filter behind the glovebox, dumped some litle leaves and 2 acorns outta there (no idea how they got in there). Read about how some have used wires and airguns to unclog the drain from the outside-in.

Does anyone have a diagram/knowledge of the location of the evaporator, and the placement of objects involved between that and the drain tube in the engine compartment, that carry the water out?

Any advice appreciated. Thanks.
