Success!....(sort of)

Well after trying the evaporator cleaning without taking the dash out I'm not so sure how well that worked. I was able to replace the foam rubber spring drain hose with some new clear tubing that allows me to see how much is draining. I am getting more water out of the passenger side drain than the driver's side drain. Is this normal? I used an air compressor, garden sprayer and shop vac to try and get that cleaned up. However I guess plan "B" is to take out the dash and really see what I'm doing. Also while in there I replaced another piece of foam hose on the passenger side, disconnected the vacuum pods so I could shut the air intake door tight so I could see if the car got cooler, it does. Now I have to finish hooking up the vacuum lines so that the intake door will stay shut when in recirculate mode. I also put some new seals in the fan cover slots to help seal them up, I don't know how much that will help but its done. Its been a tad roasty around here!
