Condition

Cause
This condition may be caused by water entering the fresh air inlet to the HVAC case due to poor sealing of the air inlet screen to the fresh air inlet opening.
Correction
1. Open the hood and remove the windshield wiper arms.
2. Remove the air inlet screen panel and replace the foam seal. Refer to illustration above.
