ISSUE
Some 2005 Expedition/Navigator vehicles built 8/01/2004 through 1/17/2005, may exhibit a water (condensation) leak into the passenger compartment
floor and/or a rattle noise coming from the dash. This may be due to the evaporator case lower stud and nut being loose allowing water to seep past the
seal between the evaporator case and the drain tube.
ACTION
Tighten the nut that attaches the evaporator case to the stud to 42 lb-in (4.8 N.m) (Figure 1). Ensure that the case is tight to the drain tube seal. The case
stud and nut can be accessed from under the dash by pulling the carpet back on the passenger side floor.
