You're not likely to get any debris in the tubes in a pre-2006 9-5, as it would get trapped in the spigot, the white nozzle in the video. The ingenious original design was a 1/4" spigot feeding into a 3/8" tube (both approximate internal diameters). What could possibly go wrong?! If you blast air up the nozzle, it just re-arranges the debris until later. You could wait until the cavity is dry and vac it out from "above", or pull the nozzle out of the box if its removable. The later 9-5s (Dame Ednas as we call them in UK) had a revised larger dia. nozzle. If you have condensate dripping both sides, you're good. When one side stops dripping the other will take all the water, until it blocks too. Then the HVAC unit fills up.
Man thanks for showing this Ross! I was wondering where these drain hoses where located. Hey after I replaced my cabin filter, I noticed a loose black wire that has an exposed metal male end about an inch long. Is this a temperature sensor wire? Does it go in front of the cabin filter by the condenser or in the back of the filter?
@@saabross3171 I found out it actually goes Inside the condenser on the left side towards the middle as you’re looking on the inside..if you take your hand and reach in you can feel the slight hole opening on the metal condenser. I had to turn myself into a contortionist to actually see the opening. Prior to inserting that wire I still had a weird moldy smell..after putting it on the smell went away a few days later.
Where can I get these floor mats??

Weird. Do you have any pics?
