A/C Drain

A/C drain just a quick question., what is the best way to get to the drain end to unplug it? I can see what I think it is but I am not sure how to get to it. I have har the car for 13 years and this is the first time this has happened.
Thanks
Ron

Oldblue posted this last week. Stick something into the tube, there might be a white plug with lips in it.

I was able to get a probe into the drain about 12 to 14 inches and a small amount of water came out. The drain exit was clear. When I changed the cabin filter I didn't see any w2ay to access the drain inlet to see if it was blocked at that point.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed?
Thanks
Ron

I jacked up the passenger side front put a jack stand in place , crawled under the HHR and placed the weed wacker line up into the hose the worked it until I pulled out some junk and then crawled back out, removed the jack stand and lowered the HHR back down

Or

There is an aerosol foaming product made for the purpose. Any autp parts store should have it. you shot it into the center air outlets and the foam expands and kills all of the microbes and cleans the tray..
The drain tube is only a couple of inches long before it gets to the drip tray. Maybe you have a different problem.
