I have water in the fan housing, since the drain tubes to the vent shroud just below the windshield, under the wipers were clogged--forcing water up and into the fan housing. I cleaned them out, but cannot get the water out of the fan housing. I am able to open the recirculate vent and see the fan. I tried getting a small hose between the fins to suck out the water, but that did not work. Is there a evaporator drain hose that drains this fan housing, or should I loosen the housing screws and try to drain the water that way? What is the location of any other drain hoses that may be causing this, such as the aforementioned sun-roof drain tube?

Thanks

The other way is prolly to remove the screws that hold your glove-box insert. That'll expose the blower casing. You will then need to figure out the way from there, depending on how 'flooded' the thing is.

At the same time, you may also want to rectify the main cause of the flooding, so that it wont happen again.
