Oh, sorry, yes post #30, Ronnie is there a puddle of water that dripped out of tge hose, or was it after you poked the string trimmer line on up in there?

I deleted the same question because I noticed a small detail in her post #29.

It's raining.

A puddle on the ground would make the diagnosis uncertain.

The weather lately would be leaving massive puddles under the car for months now. Most people ask "what is the puddle under my car from"?

If there is a puddle then the problem is the heater core or something else.

Water did come out...but more like trickling. Not gushing out like I have seen in the videos. There was water on the ground at that point from what came out of the A.C. drain tube . I just feel like it's not unclogged in its entirety.

Ronnie did you check the coolant level at the cooling system overflow tank and under the coolant filler cap on the upper radiator hose?
I have not checked the coolant levels. It will be next I guess.

It was after I poked it with the trimmer line...a small amount of water came out.

On 08/09 it was raining...on 08/13 when I was able to get the trimmer line in the drain it was sunny and hot.

So the small puddle was not rain. I may be blonde but I am far from dumb.

The puddle came from the A.C. drain tube after I was able to get the trimmer line in AC drain tube somewhat.

So, there was never a puddle under the car before the trimmer line?
My car takes about 10 minutes to drop a quart of water; very noticeable.
Go to the local parts store and get some AC vent cleaner like this, there are many others
