Ok, Now I have a small river on my passenger floorboard

[mcdlnwright]

I had a new windshield installed the other day and we had a good rain afterwards so i figured it would be a goo time to check for leaks. I pulled up my floor mat and on the right side on th passenger floor there was a small wet spot about 2" x 24". I took it back to the installers and they showed me it wasn't the windshield its the fresh air intake on the right hand side under the windshield they took a hose and let watter run on the grate and i could see a small stream on water running down the wall to the floor board . WTF? What do i do I am sure this wasn't supposed to work like this. there has to be some way to stop it i cant have a puddle every time it rains

Also Apparently I'm a idiot and i said in a earlier post that my airbag was showing a code of 21 its actually showing a 12. what does that mean? and where can i find a list of all the codes for this car < 1995 crown vic >

I would be willing to bet that you have a leak at a body seal in front of the heater air box. If you park the car with the nose pointed downhill and do not have a water ingress problem, this might be of help. If you open the hood and look on the passenger side of the car by the cowl, you will see a box under the cowl grill. This is the heater air inlet box. When you are driving in the rain this box seperates the water from the airflow so it doesn't rain in the car through the vents. It has a small flap vlave at the bottom of the box to drain the water. The box is actually inside the cabin and it vents the water out through the valve to to front of the firewall behind the right front wheel. I have seen this foam seal disolve on about 20 cv/gm vehicles since 1993. To replace the seal, you will need to pull the the heat/ac air box out and insall a new gasket. But it is a pain in the rear. The fastest fix I have found is to cut a square hole in the inner fender on the right side of the car just in front of the valve to gain access. Take some nice rtv silicone and coat the seal between the plastic valve body and the firewall liberally and let it dry. Do Not glue the flap shut with silicone or it will rain in the car. Let the rtv dry and then cut a piece of aluminum just larger than the acces hole and pop rivet it back over the access hole. The total repair should take under 1 hour. if you have trouble finding the flap valve, simply take a gallon of water and pout it into the heater inlet and look down the fire wall behind the pass side inner fender and you will see it drain out. if you do that, you will have to let it dry before using the rtv. let me know if this helps.

Hi:
A code 12 indicates an open power circuit (which means) check the fuse. The system is not getting powered up properly. It will be a red 10 amp fuse in either of the fuse boxes inside the car or under the hood (they keep moving them). There are multiple fuses for the airbag system and any one will set a code 12

I replaced all my fuse but now i have a code 52. I only had them n the inside of the car. i did have e a bow with fuses in them under the hood. there were several large fuses and a row of small fuses. there was a empty space with no fuse so i put a 10 there thinking it may have been missing then i got a code 52 so i pulled it back out. Where can i find a list of these codes?
