SYMPTOM
In humid conditions, with the A/C on and the fan running at maximum speed, water drips on the passenger's carpet.
PROBABLE CAUSE
When the fan is running at maximum speed, water condensed on the evaporator core can blow into the heater unit. The heater unit does not have a drain
to remove collected water. Water collects on the bottom of the heater unit and leaks from the lower seam in the housing.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Seal the heater unit.
