How do you drain a clogged A/C hose on a Camry?

Answer by  Amber40 (24961)

It depends on what you mean by an "A/C hose" The lines that carry the coolant should ever get clogged. If you have a problem with them the the should be replaced. If you are talking about the condensation drain hose then it will need to be replaced or punched out with a piece of wire.

The a/c drain hose should be located on the right side of the firewall at the bottom. Just get a pointed object and stick it into the hose.

Start by locating the drain hose under the car. Then find a flexible piece of wire or something similar and carefully run it up the hose.

You will need to get under the hood of the car and locate a the AC and you will find the firewall on the AC unit. You will then need to get a small wire where you can push wire through the hole in till all of the remaining water will drain out.

If your condensation pan drain hose is clogged there are two ways to unclog it. One option is to us a piece of wire and run it up the tube. Do this carefully so that you don't damage anything. The other option is to use canned AC cleaner and spray it in the condenser and the tube.

You are going to need to take the hose off and basically just clean it out. You can then let it sit to dry out and then you can reinstall the old hose. It is the best and easiest way to unclog any of the hoses on your car and not just the A/C hose.

You are going to want to take the hose off of the car and use a garden hose to try to get it un-clogged.

The process involved in draining and cleaning a clogged A/C hose are more troublesome than just replacing the hose altogether. Hoses are relatively inexpensive and you have to pull the old one out to drain it, so you might as well buy a new one and put it in instead.
