You may have water built up in your evaporater. Check your evaporater drain tube for restriction. Good luck with it.

Where is this evaporator drain tube, nd whats the best way to to clear the line?

I have access to a full body shop lifts and compressed air. So if there is a simple way please share.

The drain tube is on the passenger side of the firewall under the hood behind the right rear valve cover. It is hard to see and find, it is a black rubber tube that makes a 90* bend out of the firewall and is open ended to drain on the ground. I usually use compressed air very carefully and slowly (small, very short, 1/8 of an air shot or less, you don't want to damage anything in the evaporater) blown up the tube until water comes out, sometimes it is a lot, so be aware of the possibility of getting wet. Good luck with it.
