Daniel Anderson Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 Has anyone experienced dripping water onto transmission shifter cover steadily for ten minutes after engine start up.

John/Horace Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 Behind glove box is the fresh air blend door actuator. It is part of hvac controls and it partly opens when car is shut off to vent interior of car. Prevents mold from growing on ac evaporator during summer. Helps release interior moisture so it doesn’t form frost on interior glass and hard surfaces. Make sure it’s actually functioning, you can see it move with the cabin filter removed. If the windows are not keeping clear, door is stuck and new actuator needed. Common on high milage Journeys. There shouldn’t be dripping water because ice shouldn’t form in the first place.

Daniel Anderson Posted February 9 Author Report Share Posted February 9 Leaks around plastic (beige) cover attached to head-liner where there is a seam between plastic pieces at front of plastic to seams on left and right sides almost (sunglass holder which is dry) maybe some water coming from a map light swivel. If vehicle increases speed suddenly, more water drops come. Inside temperature set at 21 C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5rebel9 Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 Can't tell from your picture, but does the car has the sunroof option? IF it does, then I'd suspect the drain lines are clogged with debris, a common issue with all factory sunroof cars. larryl and John/Horace 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Anderson Posted February 10 Author Report Share Posted February 10 Yes it does. I understand from a FFun salesmen that the sunroof track has to be removed to access drain holes. Is the removal procedure easily done ? How do you clear the obstruction without causing any further water intake ? Should vehicle sunroof stay away from direct water pressure in a touch-less car wash ? Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larryl Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 As long as the drains are kept clear the water should drain properly That being said sunroofs can become a nightmare on any brand of vehicle for the most part they suck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
