To find it, you'll likely need to:
* Look under the vehicle: The drain typically leads to a point under the vehicle, often near the firewall or towards the front passenger side. Check for a small hose dripping water when the AC is running. This can be difficult as its often small diameter.
* Inspect the passenger compartment: Look behind the glove box and under the dashboard. Sometimes the drain starts higher up inside the car before exiting to the outside. You might find a small tube or hose that feels damp.
* Consult a repair manual: A repair manual specific to your 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee (like a Haynes or Chilton manual) might offer clues about its location. These manuals often have diagrams of the HVAC system.
* Search online forums: Jeep Grand Cherokee forums (like Jeep Garage or similar) are a good place to search for posts where owners have addressed similar issues – you might find someone who’s already posted about locating their drain hose.
Caution: Be careful when searching under the vehicle. Support the vehicle securely if you get under it to check. Also be aware that the drain water can be slightly acidic and might cause some corrosion over time.
