condensate carryover from the evaporator core. Refer to TSB 94-2-12 for Service Procedures on this concern.
2.
Water dripping onto the floor in vehicles built after 10/15/93 or in vehicles built prior to that date which have been serviced following TSB
94-2-12 may have condensate leaking from one (1) of the following places (refer to Figure 2):
a.
The evaporator tube seal. Condensate forms on the liquid line inside the evaporator case. When the blower motor is operated on HIGH,
condensate is blown against the inside of the seal and eventually leaks from the case. Condensate droplets will fall on the passenger side,
just above the carpeting on the sound absorber. In very high humidity, this leak may appear within 10-15 minutes of A/C system start-up. A
leaking seal can be observed in the vehicle with the use of an inspection mirror. Leakage from this area and area b described next, may be
significant enough to saturate the carpeting over a long period of time.
b.
Case seam near evaporator tube seal. There is a seam between the upper and lower case halves adjacent to the recirc door linkage. This seam
may not be adequately welded during assembly. When this occurs, condensate may leak from the case in this area. The seam is not visible
when the evaporator is assembled in the vehicle. It is difficult to determine between leaks from this source, or source a, above. Generally,
