    Possible hole leaking rain water 1996 Ford Taurus
    Hello,

    I have a 1996 Ford Taurus, and last year rain water and melting snow drained on to my passenger side floor. When I turned on the heater, you could hear water fly off the fan by your feet. Of course, it burned out my blower moter... and the other part.. (sorry I don't know car parts very well) controls speeds I think. I had heard that my car type/year? May have a hole.. something that the manufacturer made that was not necessary, but made that can get larger over time and exposure to water causing it to constantly drain on my blower moter possibly burning out another blower motor.

    The nice guy I emailed told me where to find this hole. I think he said it was behind the glove compartment, but had computer problems and lost the info he gave me. Any ideas of the location? I have new parts ordered for this cold weather coming and want the husband to fix er' up so I don't freeze.

    Does your Taurus have a cabin air filter? If so, Ford has issued a TSB about install a rain shield around it to prevent water from getting into the fresh air duct.
