Default Evaporator Drain Location / Smell

Greetings all,

Like so many other people, we have the "melted crayon" smell in our 2005 Limited. We have changed the cabin air filter, cleaned profusely, and added air fresheners. No real improvement. I have been looking at the possibility of the evaporator creating the smell and would like to try one of the foaming cleaners. My problem is finding any information about the actual location of the evaporator drain tubes. I have found the drain tubes for the ventilation inlet but not the exit point for the evaporator drain. If I remove the vent cover from the footwell on either side of the tunnel I can feel the tubes. I just don't know exactly where they exit. I am assuming it is in the tunnel above the transmission and exhaust. I haven't crawled underneath the car yet because I don't have ramps and I'm not sure of where to place jack stands safely. If anyone has information about the exit location of the evaporator drain tubes I would really appreciate it. Or if you know where to place jack stands after jacking the car up. Thanks to all!
