2004 Explorer 2WD v-8. Looking for TB on Air conditioning "hooting noise". TB bulletin number is 17217. Called local dealer today and he said no dice to providing me a copy. Also said the noise could be from front axle seal???? Does not sound correct to me.
If you could get a copy would be great.
Thanks

I agree that the dealers deny any problem, I went in to the dealer with my 2004 Exolorer and told them the problems and they said all my problems were normal.
I then asked why they would create a TSB for a normal problem, Well they asked where I got the TSB's and I replied does it really matter.
Well anyway the A/C Hoot is described in a TSB and the fix is to install a revised evaporator case.
That fix does not apply to vehicles with Auxilary rear A/C.

I have a 2003 EB at the dealer right now, and I am told they could find no problems with the AC, hmmm. sounds like it is just anoying and does not realy effect anything else. I live in Minnesota - only see a couple of months of above 85 weather.

kwikbill, I took mine to the dealer last summer and told them of the TSB 17217. I don't remember what they did, but somehow the noise is gone and so is the problem. Tell your dealer the TSB number and see if they know how to fix it.
