My 1994 Yukon SLE 4x4 (just purchased) went through the car wash to check for leaks - seemed to be tight around windows, doors, etc. so I was a happy camper - until I took the floor mat out to clean and found the carpet wet on the passenger side. Pulled everything out and noticed the carpet slightly discolored so it has leaked in the past, but fortunately no rust. After reading all the posts here I started on the checklist of possible leak sources and eliminated the heater coil as I had just replaced it, besides the leak is just water (no antifreeze), removed the windshield wiper cowl and cleaned out leaves, etc., before turning the hose on to check the drain. Let the water run for quite a while and a small trickle started to show up coming down the seam in front of where the kick panel meets the firewall - it took a while for this to show up so I'm thinking there is a small crack somewhere, possibly behind the blower motor housing?
I purposely did not put any water on the windshield trying to isolate the source as best I could so I'm reasonably sure the leak is from the drain path and not the windshield. After watching a couple of Youtube videos on removing the blower motor, I proceeded to remove the glove box to get access to the wires and the top screws (7 mm) holding the motor in place - surprise! - the "behind the dash" picture of a 1994 Yukon is not the same as a 1996 K1500 - the ABS plastic A/C vent, two large wire looms, metal box that contains the (body computer?) that looks like a radio, and very tight space to get my large hands into is creating a problem.
Anybody out there with a similar vehicle that can provide some guidance on blower motor cover removal (appears to be two inaccessible screws for removal) and any special tools needed to get the motor out?
I've ordered some new carpet so I need to solve this problem - any and all thoughts, comments, suggestions are welcome.
