A/C - Evaporator Drain Tube Water Leaks to Interior
Notes

No: TSB-02-55-006

DATE: August, 2002

MODEL
1999-2002 Galant

 

SUBJECT:
A/C WATER LEAKAGE AT EVAPORATOR DRAIN TUBE OPENING

 

PURPOSE

Customers may complain of A/C water leakage onto the driver side floor. The leakage may be more noticeable after the air conditioner or front defogger has been operated.

 

graphic

This condition may be caused by drain tube blockage, or the heater unit not being properly sealed to the bulkhead. The bulkhead silencer pad may be positioned between the evaporator foam pad and the firewall, causing an improper seal. This could cause the evaporator drain tube foam to become deformed and allow water to drain onto the floor.

To eliminate this condition, first check for drain tube blockage. If no blockage is found, install a new evaporator foam pad as described in this bulletin. Also, inspect the heater assembly for cracks or other damage that could cause leakage. If cracks or other damage are observed, replace the heater assembly.

Should be 2 inchs black plastic tube sticking out the firing wall by driver side or passenger side.

Customer replied 1607 days and 21 hours ago.

I know it should be there but i still don't see it. It must hidden from plain sight. I even try to feel along the firewall to see if I feel it sitcking out but know luck

You may have to check from under the car, I know you don't have a lift, but I don't see another option.
