Hey peeps. 2019 Classic 1500. sometimes during some wet weather or shortly afterwards when i start the truck i get a wet musty smell for the first few minutes before everyting warms up. I have looked for the heater box drain so i can ram some compressed air in to remove the blockage that i'm assuming is causing the moisture to not drain properly from the A/C. can someone please post me a picture of where it is located? i've asked the dealership and they are of no help at all and another mechanic friend of mine checked on All-Data and there's nothing in there about it. I hope I don't need to remove the box to replace the heater core or A/C condensor.

Thanks!

On the 5th gens it's located on the firewall, above the right hand frame rail. I don't remember where it's located on 4th gens though. Hopefully someone can chime in with that information.

The drain is on the passenger firewall in the engine compartment close to the bottom in about the same position as a person sitting in the pass seat.
