Symptom Chart(s)
Diagnostics in this manual assume a certain skill level and knowledge of Ford-specific diagnostic practices.
REFER to: Diagnostic Methods (100-00 General Information, Description and Operation).
Dust and Water Leaks
Most
dust and water leaks occur due to missing or incorrectly installed body
sealer or components. The source of the leak is detected by:
-
pressurizing the vehicle and testing with soapy water.
-
Locate and tape off the body vents.
-
Turn the blower motor to HI.
-
Turn the air recirculation OFF.
-
Close the windows and doors.
-
Open the hood and spray soapy water along body seams
and grommets. Make sure to test the areas around the A-pillar at the
fender and the hood hinge area.
-
inspecting for a dust pattern or water path near and above the area in question.
-
removing any trim or carpet in the general area of the leak.
-
road testing or water-hose testing the vehicle.
-
placing a bright light under the vehicle, removing any
necessary trim or carpet and inspecting the interior of the body at
joints and weld lines.
Wind noise
Most
wind noise leaks occur at the corners of the windows or in the doors.
Wind noise is detected by driving the vehicle at highway speeds or at
speeds as specified by the customer. The vehicle should be driven in 4
different directions, with all the windows closed, the radio off and the
A/C blower motor off.
Squeak and Rattle
Squeak
and rattle noises are generally caused by loose parts, contact or
relative movement between 2 surfaces or loose wires and connectors. The
source of the noise can be detected by stopping movement of the suspect
part by hand or by using dampening or low friction materials.
