Water leaking into cab under glovebox

I recently noticed water is leaking into my cab from under the glovebox. It's an intermitant drip. Before it start dripping, I can hear a sloshing sound from under the dash when going around turn or curves.

Initially, i thought it was the AC freezing problem, but the dripping occurs even when the AC is off. Although most of time it happens when the AC is on. Any suggestions?

By the way, I have a 2003 quad cab std output.


Thanks,

Wilson

I would have to agree with 53 ****** on this one. I would try to find the hose and unplug it or take it to a a/c shop and they can tell you where it is or just fix it as well...

I don't know about the 3rd gen's, but mine was caused by the drain hose throught the fire wall. It didn't seem to be stopped up, but after adding a 90* piece of hose on it, it quite wetting the floor. Some folks said it was not letting the water drain due to wind turbulance under the hood.

I was told by the dealership it was do to some bad seals in the AC/firewall.
We had a lease trk on site that filled up on the left side when it rained heavy.

Water leaks are a pain. I had a leak thru the instrument panel dripping down on the clutch pedal. Took a year to solve. They replaced the cowl seal, cab light seals, etc. Eventually the door seal was replaced & solved the problem.

I had the same problem. theres a fresh air intake duct under the couling on the passinger side. remove the couling and there is a large patch of foul tape that covers a hole, remove the foul, and inside the hole theres a plastic tube that comes through the firewall, just seel around the duct where it comes through the firewall. I hope thats clear as mud
