NOTICE
I am the owner of this 2005 Montero LTD and I asked the original question. After spending much time trying to resolve this issue, I lucked out and found the drain line. I hope my solution can help Montero owners because I called a couple of shop to inquire on the cost to correct this problem and their cost and solutions were all over the place. My solution cost $30.00 at Home Depot.
Pleased note, it tried a coat hanger wire and several other items to unplug the drain and failed. The reason why is there was no way to get your hand close to the drain with enough force or leverage to unplug it.
Once assembled and in place, my solution took approximately 30 seconds to unplug the drain so save yourself some time (my failures) and frustration. Try this solution because it WORKS....!
LOCATION OF DRAIN
The evaporator drain is located on the driver's side of the vehicle firewall. It will be located right below the (2) A/C low pressure lines running horizontally to the passenger side of the firewall. There is a retaining clip holding those A/C lines to the firewall and it is located very close to that retaining clip, but UNDERNEATH the 2 AC low pressure lines. It is very hard to locate and is a white plastic nipple sticking out 3/4" from the firewall and is approximately 1/4 in diameter.
SOLUTION
I blew the line out using an air wand made of 1/8" brass nipples purchased at home depot.
PARTS LIST
All parts came from Home Depot (used brass because 1/8" galvanized parts were not available). Air compressor and high pressure blow gun required.
(3) 4" brass 1/8" nipples
(2) 1/8" brass couplings
(2) 1/4" to 1/8" brass Reducer
(1) 1/4" 90 degree elbow - galvanized
The tapered air nipple will come attached to your stock high pressure blow gun. Remove tapered nipple from the blow gun.
ASSEMBLY
1. Attach the 4 inch 1/8" nipples and couplings,
2. On one end attach a 1/8" to 1/4" reducer,
3. Now attach a 90 degree elbow,
4. On the other side of the elbow attached another 1/4" to 1/8" reducer,
5. Now attach the tapered air nipple to the reducer (from your blow gun)
6. Attach the assembled wand to blow gun (screws directly into areas where tapered nipple was removed).
NOTE
The drain nipple on my truck was packed with debris (leaves, lent, etc.) so you need that tapered air nipple to penetrate and get in there. Not sure if there was suppose to be a factory installed 90" degree rubber boot connected to nipple, never the less there was not one on my truck.
For more information on the air wand and photos of the nipple location, email me at:
