2016 front a/c drain

[ynpmoose]

I can see the rear ac drain no problem. I cannot locate a condensate drain for the front. Any tips or pictures are appreciated. When the ac runs, there are no puddles near the front so either my drain is clogged or everything comes out the back. Any info/pics I can find seem to be for pre-Ecoboot models so the setup is completely different .

I would appreciate this info as well. I see where mine is draining through the firewall but it looks like a terrible design. I’ll see if I can get a pic

Can anyone tell me if the black nipple is our ac drain?

Sorry for the third post...I forgot to mention that my “drain” causes a potion of the water to run behind the foam insulation that’s against the firewall and running underneath the floor board. It finds an escape about half way to the back and drops down onto an exhaust heat shield, then onto a (transmission?) crossmember before hitting the ground.

The other portion drips down onto the exhaust coming off the turbo.

I can now confirm that is the drain. Mine is in fact flowing. It must just land on the skid plate or sound baffle, so it wont show on the ground unless it sits for a while.

So are we supposed to drain these?

Water should dribble out on it's own when the ac is running. If nothing is coming out, its clogged

That’s what mine looks like as well. I don’t see a drip. Just drove it about 500 miles yesterday and saw no drainage on the bottom of the car. We ran the AC all day. What’s the best way of cleaning the drain out.

Were you in Arizona the whole trip? Isn't it dry heat out there? You need some humidity to make it condensate water.

Can you post where these drains are please and thank you?

Never heard of an AC drain plug. Was this in a dream?

It's just the condensate drain tube basically

I'm a little late to this party but, I live in FL and run my A/C year round. I've owned it since new and I have never seen any condensate on the ground from the front A/C. Also, I never had any wet carpet in passenger foot well.
My guess is that the front drain drips onto the right side exhaust and gets vaporized. If I shut off the engine and listen near the front passenger wheel I can hear a sizzling noise like each drop is frying and vaporizing.
Whenever I run the rear A/C I always see a puddle on the ground behind the rear wheel(driver side) and still nothing on the ground from the front A/C

i'm even later to this party... my 2017 AC is draining condensate back onto the passenger floor. i have wet carpet along the edge. I'm trying to find the drain line so i can check if it's clogged or not. There is also a fix where folks put a 90 degree elbow on it to direct the water further away from the inside.

thanks...
