Unable to Locate the Drain

[Sprinkle_Star]

Does anybody know where I can find the evaporator core drain underneath the Fiesta? Mine is plugged up.

Why do you think yours is plugged up? Is it wet on the floor on the passenger side floor?

There's an alarming lack of water accumulating on the ground when my AC is running.

Water on the ground is normal.
As @TyphoonFiST suggests, if the drain was plugged, water would be in the passenger floor.

The volume, would depend on the amount of humidity the AC is removing from your car.

To answer the question, presumably it would be below the evaporator. You can lay eyes on the evaporator when changing the cabin filter.

Even if there isn't enough of a plug for it to back up, a restriction may eventually cause an odor. So if @Sprinkle_Star wants to at least check it, it's a good idea.

I'll continue to peruse the manual to see if there's more detail.
EDIT: No luck. I think it's apart of an assembly that houses the core and that assembly is removed/installed as a unit. So there's no detail on it. Not even sure it's visible in the diagrams of the unit.

Unfortunately I investigated the same thing, there’s not really a proper evaporator drain tube on the Fiesta. Evidently the drip tray basically drains through a plastic fitting hole through the floor, and the actual drain location is hidden behind the exhaust heat shield on the right side.

Here’s a post over on Fiesta Faction with a photo of the location (ours is the same as the base model)

Precisely what I was seeking - thank you very much.

I caught this problem early... that is to say before the interior would get wet if I kept running the a/c

Just in case the information in that link that DialCaliper posted eventually gets lost...
