[97-f150-lariat]

Every time I drive the truck my passenger floor board gets wet.. what's causing this and what should I do!??!?!

[lee reece]

Well this could be air conditioner drain plugged and runing inside or heater core is leaking! Water or antifreeze ... that's the differance between easy or baste red fix???

^X2 same thing happened to my dad's '05 Expedition. AC drain plug just got clogged.

[97-f150-lariat]

Is that a major problem? If not how do i un clog it?

[Raptor05121]

Its most likely the heater core. Smell the fluid. If it is coolant, then you need to rip the whole dash out.

[97-f150-lariat]

I haven't had the time to check but ill make it a priority tomorrow I have smelled the fluid though before and I don't believe it had an odor.

[Raptor05121]

Yeah then its most likely just A/C runoff then. If you don't have the A/C running, it should eliminate one possibility.

[lee reece]

Also if you don't no the ac will run when you defrost!!

The compressor spins in all settings except "Panel" "Floor" and "Off". I really wish Ford used an A/C button instead of selecting modes for us.

My '05 has an A/C button. I can just have outside air blowing in unless I want ice cold A/C lol.

[Raptor05121]

My '05 has an A/C button.

Are you kidding me? Damn you, Ford....

[RhinoZ24]

Nope, unless I select Max A/C on the switch I have to push it to get the A/C on.

If my ac is drain is clogged where is it located for me to check It I also forgot to mention when I turn the truck on I actually hear water running or a trickling sound ..

I hear that sound occasionally on a cold day after I shut my truck off, I don't think it's abnormal. And the A/C drain plug will be under the front passenger side (explains the wet floor). Should be a little hose-like thing with an opening pointed downwards. Might just have road dirt built up and clogged the tip.

[97-f150-lariat]

Both me and my pops looked where you said and we still can't find the thing anything else that coild tell us where to locate it?

[Raptor05121]

It might be different from 10th and 11th gens.

[RhinoZ24]

It might be different from 10th and 11th gens.

That too, but it still should be somewhere under the front passenger side because that's where the water is coming from. Unfortunately I have an '05 so it might be different like Alex said. Check again for any hoses/tubes under the passenger side.

[97-f150-lariat]

We just looked AGAIN and nothing still I just don't know what to do we are lookin on the passenger side and we can't find any rubber tubes for the drain to come out

[lee reece]

It's not rubber . Plastic housing had drain formed into the bottom side on the passenger. Under neath where the heater coolant lines and a/c lines enter the firewall! Not real sure cause I haven't had that yr.

I had the same problem my dad took the passenger wheelwell plastic out to get at it. the water was running out the drain and down the firewall back down into the truck. that helped dry everything up

[97-f150-lariat]

Was it a 97 ? Or atleast the same style truck?

[lee reece]

Google repair Manuel for that yr?

[97-f150-lariat]

Was it a easy process I don't want pops taking it off and not bein able to put it back on haha

[97-f150-lariat]

So here's what happened me and pops took the truck up to our mechanic and he said he couldn't look today but its probably the heater coil .. we took the truck back home and looked again and found the hole coming out of the firewall with water comin out of it while the truck was running the drain has bursts of water of water not a steady flow or drip is that normal? And moisture has appeared under the passenger dash when we had the ac up high to get the drip. What yall think?

[lee reece]

You can take a piece of stranded wire to run up the drain to see if something is keeping it from draining?

Got the problem fixed today cost me $50 the ac drain hole was having a blowback and it was causing the water to come in under the floorboard so he put a elbow on it and it solved the problem

[RhinoZ24]

That's good to hear glad you got it fixed.

[lee reece]

You definatly have some trash in there tho! Glad it worked!
