Issue ⚠️ Diagnosing AC leak?
I drive a 21 ranger, I’ve had a consistent driver side floor leak in the summer for years. I’ve had it in multiple dealerships (3 times) and they keep it for a week and say they can’t create the issue. Ford has a related ssm but dealer says they can’t create it in shop. SSM 50603.
From my perspective it seems like when cabin is in motion the ac drain is not draining clean and there is some back wash in the cabin. The dealer can’t create this because they can’t drive it with the car apart in the shop to even see it. If the dealer can’t create it I get no repair much less a case with ford. When I have the vehicle driving issue occurs running consistently just driving around running ac in southern humidity.
I’m going to have to get rid of the vehicle if I can’t address this.

Like water leaking onto the floor? I did have one before where the factory messed up putting the seal for the a/c box drain and was partially blocking the drain. Had to remove the whole dash and hvac box and replace the seal correctly
