A/C drain hose is a rubber or plastic hose that helps to drain water from your car’s air conditioner. The hose is usually located near the bottom of the A/C unit, and it may be connected to a drain pipe. Over time, the hose can become clogged with dirt and debris, which can cause it to leak or even break. If you notice water leaking from your car’s A/C unit, it’s important to check the drain hose for any blockages. You can clear the hose with a toothpick or other sharp object. If the hose is damaged, you’ll need to replace it.
