can someone please help me figure out why there is a puddle of water in my pasenger floor board? its not just like a few drops of water! its like standing water. and its there at all times?!?!?! any one had this problem? how did you fix it?

if you cant tell. thats full of water


water coming from the bottom of truck under passenger floor board


soaked



could this be it?

 

condensation fromn the AC leaking in?? Or has it been raining.. Bad seal?

 

i'm not sure. i cant figure it out. i took it to the local ford shop and they blamed it on that the back cargo light on top was leaking and that the water was traveling ALL THE WAY from the top of my truck to the floor board. so they said they syliconed it and it would be fixed. haha what a joke.

this is the peice that is under the passenger floor board. it is pulled down a little and is wet?

 

AC leaking back in..... the drain is plugged. That will be $50 sir!

 

explain? where may the "drain" be. is it hard to get to?

 

Check your heater core. They are famous for getting the passenger side wet.

 

where is that? how do i check it?

 

I took this off a website because they can explain it better:

The Ford heater core is the heart of your car’s heating system, utilizing engine heat to warm up the passenger compartment on cold mornings. So how does the Ford heater core accomplish this? In essence, the Ford heater core is a little radiator, comprised of tubes, fins, and an inlet and outlet to which heater hoses connect. When you use your climate control system to dial up some heat, a valve opens allowing hot engine coolant to flow into the Ford heater core. The fan blows air over the Ford heater core, which warms it, after which it flows into the passenger compartment. We mentioned that the Ford heater core is similar to a small radiator: That’s true in several ways, including the problems that a Ford heater core is susceptible to. Your Ford heater core can clog due to debris in the cooling system, or corrode due to old coolant being used in the system. Either way, you end up with a significant drop in heat output from the Ford heater core, and possible leaks in your interior. The later situation is particularly troublesome since a pinhole leak in the Ford heater core can go undetected for months, resulting in rust in your floorpans. While a Ford heater core is no picnic to replace, it’s far less involved than welding in new sheetmetal underneath your seats. So, keep an eye out for the symptoms of a failing Ford heater core. A reduction in heat output can indicate a clog, while a mysterious loss of engine coolant combined with humidity in the passenger compartment can indicate a leak in the Ford heater core. If either situation crops up, get your Ford heater core checked out by a professional.

 

I agree. If the fluid does not smell like antifreeze then it is not the heater core and most likely a plugged AC drain. Check under the truck on the passenger side and you should see the drain tube. And yes, the shop will most likely charge $50 or more for simple cleaning the tube.

 

same thing happened to mine a few months after i bought it, it was the ac drain.
mine was covered under warranty.

And like keeks said, its not the heater core if it doesnt smell like antifreeze.
From the looks of the pics yours is clear clean condensation water. thats the ac drain.

 

thanks guys. i'll take a look at her tomorrow and try to get it all fixed up

 

the drain is behind the passenger cylinder head. easiest way to get to it is the remove the fender liner. its just a hole in the firewall pretty much.

 

thanks guys. exacly how do i clean it out?

 

ok so i stuck and LARGE Zip-Tie up there and it never hit anything that would seem to be clogging it? so then i stuck a 4-wheeler break cable in there and i never got anything? how far up is the clogging usually?

 

With the AC on, do you have water dripping out of the tube onto the pavement?
