XJ air-conditioner leak on passenger floorboard
I'm getting a leak from the air-conditioner on the passenger side
floorboard of my 1995 XJ... I understand that the solution is to pull
the carpet back and drill a hole in a particular place... I haven't
been able to find a diagram / photo of where it should be on the XJ
though... Anyone have a more detailed description / illustration of
the procedure?

Are you sure your vent tube isn't plugged? It will "run over" into the
passenger compartment if it is.

Re: XJ air-conditioner leak on passenger floorboard
When you pull the carpet back, you should find a small rubber hose that the
evaporator drains through. You can clean this drain, there is no need to
make a new one.

Since it looked like I was going to be needing to remove the trim
pieces in order to remove the pull the carpet and underlayment back, I
tried working on it from the other end (i.e. from underneath the
vehicle)... There is a black rubber hose hanging loose and I poked a
wire up inside of it... It seems that I'm getting some drainage now,
but I'll need to wait until the carpet dries out before I can
determine if that is a complete solution... I suspect that it would be
better to be running the wire through it from the other end since the
way that I did it, any gunk that was in the line just got pressed back
up inside and it might eventually migrate back there... Of course, I
burnt the ---- out of underside of my right forearm on the exhaust
while trying to do it... Damn, the exhaust is hot enough to singe
hair... I figure that I would try this solution until someone posted
the CORRECT way to do it...
