Ranger 2WD V6-182 3.0L (1995)
leaks from this source may wet the recirc door vacuum motor, while leaks from source a, above, fall directly onto the sound absorber.
c.
Heater core cover seal. This foam seal may become saturated with condensate and drip on the passenger 5 feet. The source of this
condensate leakage is visible through the glove compartment opening. Condensate leaking from this area may fall near the floor ducts,
giving the mistaken impression that condensate is dripping from that duct. The volume of condensate from this location is usually low,
typically about one (1) drop every several minutes.
3.
Water accumulating on the floor can come from these other sources not related to evaporator core condensate.
a.
Water may enter the vehicle around the evaporator drain seal from the outside due to the lower evaporator case-to-dash mounting stud not
being properly torqued.
b.
Water may leak into the passenger side kick panel on 1994 and 1995 models built through 8/10/94 due to insufficient body sealing in the
right A-pillar/cowl area. If the kick panel area does not drain this water due to rustproofing or debris, the water can potentially build up and
reach the carpet, or the water may find a path to flow onto the carpet when making its way down from the cowl area. This leak source is very
rare and is outlined in TSB 94-22-5 for other wiring corrosion concerns.
