Ok, you cleaned the black hose, right?

The system is pretty simple. Condensate forms on the evaporator coil fins, drips down to the bottom of the blower box, drains through said black hose and drips on top of the transmission.

The hose is always the first to check. Changing the blower motor might jar loose something. Can you put an "S" shaped wire or something up through the tube where the black hose fits on? Make a little 90 degree thing on the end and see if you can poke it up there and turn it. I visualize a straightened out large paperclip being a candidate for this.

The black tube clogs easily, and the way they made the outlet end tends to make things worse, especially here in Humid Houston. I have had to take off the hose and clean it like one would clean a 410 shotgun - pushing a sloppy wet paper towel through it until they come through clean. The I cut the bottom end to remove part of the little flap thing there.

That's the gamut of what I have to help.

Good Luck,

Bob
