    98 caravan, clogged evap drain?

    Just purchased said vehicle, after researching a bit, found that some
    people are having problems with water in the passenger footwell from a
    clogged drain. I'm getting the same thing (sounds like water sloshing
    around behind the glove box). Water isn't pouring in, discovered it by
    pulling back the carpet and insulation. Anyways, I think I found the
    correct drain hose on the firewall side. There is a small protrusion on the
    firewall, and a black hose hangs down from the bottom of it. What's the
    standard method for clearing this? Do I need to pull the hose off, or can I
    just blow some compressed air through the tube? Seems like it may be a pain
    in the arse to get that hose back on. As far as I can tell and from what I
    have read, there is no way to access this from the interior of the vehicle
    without tearing the dash apart. Well, if anybody can supply any
    information, it would be much appreciated.

    Behind the glove box there is a small irregularly shaped
    access panel ( 2" at bottom, 3" at top, 4" high) where some
    temp sensor wiring feeds into the compartment housing the
    evaporator. Perhaps you could pour some water mixed with bleach
    into it and suck it out through the drain in the firewall
    using a shop vac. Otherwise you are stuck removing the
    entire dash.

    the best way to clear it. is drill a hole in the center inside the car and then
    blow air through the drain then seal the hole with butyrl
