Default A/C Compressor Drain Location?

I've got water all on my passenger side floorboard, and water sloshing around under my console. I'm sure that the drain for the A/C compressor is clogged, but can't find the damn thing! Anybody know where it is?

On the cx9 its behind the heat shield right around where the exhaust turns to heads towards the back of the car. Roughly where your feet would be inside the car.

I'd imagine that the cx7 is roughly in the same spot

It's definitely caused by a clogged A/C drain.

Thanks for the replies. I was able to find a lot of pictures and info about where it's located on the CX-9, but never the CX-7. Luckily I happened upon the mythical compressor drain. It turns out it's a completely different location than the CX-9. It also turns out you don't have to get the car up in the air to unclog it, which is good to know for the future.

I took a picture in case anyone else ever has the issue. It's located on the firewall on the passenger side and does not look like a drain tube at all. I honestly thought it looked like a metal piece of some kind before touching it. The shape resembles the end of a sway bar that extends past where it bolts to the frame--like crimped metal or something. Rest assured, it's rubber. This photo is taken standing right at the passenger wheel well looking down behind the motor towards the firewall. Apologies for the refrigerant line obstructing the view, but notice the water pouring out!



There was over a gallon of water that came out. I shoved a stiff wire in it first and got it to flow, then for good measure stuck the end of a shop vac hose on it. It sealed nicely against the firewall and I think pulled some additional gunk out of the drain line. Now to find a shop that has cabin air filters in stock....

Thanks Drew. I am having the same problem you are. How long of a wire did you use? Thanks...
