The tube runs at a weird angle. It's not kinked from what I've been reading from other edge owners who have the same problem the 2007 and 2008 have this problem a lot. As yet no answers to fixing this flaw,only how to drain the water.

There is the drain right next to the gas pedal, you have to pull back the carpet to find it. We took a piece of tubing used as in a aquarium and put an end piece on it so it fits perfectly into the drain hose. Then it works like a siphon once you get the suction going. The first couple times there was mildew? and mold as well, now though it's just cold water that drains out. I don't know why it keeps needing to be drained. Perhaps it's the angle of the drain tube? So weird, never had a vehicle do this.I don't know how to permanently fix the issue. As I've said before,replacing the fan is not the cure all as this one will get the water sitting on it as well. Trying to figure out why it doesn't drain on it's own. I have to drain it once a week. It does drain,but not all the way. Ford dealership where i bought the car has no answers for me on this issue

If I knew why it keeps getting clogged I wouldn't be so angry. We keep cleaning it out, tried vinegar and also bleach to clean it. I just don't understand WHY it keeps clogging. Nothing comes out except water after the last flushing with the bleach. This has been going in now for over a year and nobody has been able to figure this out. I have taken it in three times to the mechanic and there nothing in the line to clog it. Is there some kind if check valve somewhere that we don't know about. The fan now has to be replaced due to the water not draining, but this is not fixing the problem. In time this fan will no longer turn then either due to water not draining but sitting on the fan . It's just really annoying with no answers.

I replied on the other forum. The brakes squeal when the tray has water in it, brakes checked 2times.

Well it has been cleaned out with bleach through the siphon, WHY THEN RIGHT AFTER IT IS CLEANED OUT AND DRAINED MY BRAKES MAKE NO NOISE AT ALL MORNING, NOON, EVENING NONE ABSOLUTELY NO SQUEAL. MY BRAKES HAVE BEEN CKECKED TWICE NOW. THEY ARE FINE. THEY MAKE NOISE WHEN THE DARN TRAY HAS WATER STUCK IN IT AND IS NOT DRAINING. WHY ON EARTH DOES THE WATER KEEP HAVING TO BE DRAINED??? IS THIS A FLAW IN THIS CAR?? Never ever had this problem before. After it was drained the first time we got at least a gallon of water out!! I asked if he had done something with the brakes as they didn't make any noise as well. Answer-NO. I drive this car every day,and I know that when the AC drain is clogged,turning the steering wheel sounds like my tire is rubbing on something. It's not. It also pulls to the right if there is enough water in the tray. Why?? I am not imagining this. Only had the car 3 years, and having to drain the stupid ac thing is getting annoying. Ford = Found on the road dead just like this car has done more than once. Would never have bought this if I had known all the problems. We have to drain the ac EVERY week here in Florida and now have to replace the ac fan as well. what the heck???

Why does my air conditioning drain clog?? It makes my front floor soaking wet, the fan won't blow, this for some reason affects my brakes in that not only do they sqeal, but make them spongy.The other noise from the water not draining from the car makes a swooshing sound. Not safe at all. Why does this continue to happen. We have to drain it manually with a siphon hose.
