The A/C in my '01 Boxster S is draining into (mostly) the passenger footwell. Anyone know how to clear the drain hose?

Thanks!

This usually happens when the rubber hose comes lose or is clogged. Have you checked to see if it is lose? Depending on how clogged it is you can use an air compressor to clear it out.

How do I access it? Under the dash or the hood?

Under the hood. If you open the hood, the A/C stuff is in a compartment on the passenger side in front of the windshield. There is a panel on top of the compartment with a torx screw that holds it down. Take the screw out and the cover comes off. You may have to pop the battery cover (in the middle) off first, but I can't remember. Anyway, once you get the passenger side cover off you will see the A/C hoses and the cabin filter.
