Hey everyone, I’m trying to locate the condensation drain line on my 2011 Ford Fiesta. I’m not dealing with any leaks—just want to clean the evaporator. Any tips?
I think it’s under the heat shield, just behind the front subframe. Had to look for mine last year.

Yep, that’s where mine was too. Took a bit of effort to get to, though.

Thanks for confirming this! I’ll try to take a look later today.
If you’re cleaning the evaporator, be sure to check for any blockages while you’re at it. A clogged drain can cause more trouble later.

Good point. I ignored mine for a while, and it ended up causing water to pool inside the car.
Just a heads up, it might help to have a small flashlight when checking under there. It’s a tight spot.
Does anyone know if this location is the same for the 2012 model? Been meaning to clean mine too.

Pretty sure it’s the same. Haven’t checked personally, though.
