Hey folks,
any one got a good video of a 2000 / new edge mustang having the front cowl taken off and cleaned out?
I got a passenger side water leak, pretty sure condenser is clogged as no water exiting its lil spout noodle bit on the firewall
However i can't find a single video that actually shows me how to unclog the passenger side under the cowling.
it appears only on the passenger side there is an extra layer of metal shielding(?)

how should i get under this to unclog?

Is it water or coolant? Heater cores usually drain outside if leaking but that drain can clog and then back up into the interior (More comon on a fox vs sn but still happens). You'll need to verify but sounds like a heater core or at least dash removal is in the cards.

Fuuuuuuuuu

you responded to my other post, same goes, I’m going to weather test that heater drain as you suggested to pay attention to. However I suspect taking apart the dash will be the end result.

Will update when I gather more info! Thank you again!

Keep us updated - I usually pay attention to thread starters name but didn't catch that both were your threads. Good luck on both.
