Hi,

Ford Taurus SEL 2005 - Duratec. I just noticed that the AC drains inside
the car under the passenger floormat.

Is it difficult to reconnect or re-direct this hose to drain outside the car
as it should? Thank you. C

The drain may be simply plugged with debris. You should be
able to acces it from under the vehicle and clean it out.
It may be an open tube or one with a slit that closes at the
bottom. This design is much more likely to become plugged
by keeps engine oders and road spray from getting back into
the vehicle. If that does not correct the problem, you need
to find it inside the car and make sure it is properly
connected and there are no kinks in it.

Thank you; I hope that is it and I will try to look at it this p.m.

Another factor I should have listed. Last year the dash was replaced on
warranty for air-bag concerns. Now I am off warranty and if they didn't
re-connect properly I am not sure they will take responsibility. I should
have put 2 & 2 together sooner. I am now off warranty. No harm in asking I
guess; my dealer is quite good but Ford runs warranty policy.

Thanks again, C

Ford runs warranty policy, but the dealer does the work. They CAN fix
it for you and absorb the cost (it's called "good will") They have a
line in their ledger where they enter it as an expense and write it
off against their income tax.
