Mallard Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I have a 2011 F150 Ecoboost and i keep having the problem of a saturated passenger floor carpet. I start to smell a musty and mildew smell and that is how i know that it is wet again. Each time i have to pull up the carpet and dry it out to prevent mildew from growing and making the cab of the truck stink. The first time i pulled up the carpet i found the tape covering one of the drain holes had come off. I thought this has been the problem so i got aluminum tape and sealed that hole. But the wet carpet has come back. I have since continued to read about what the cause of this could be. I had read that there could be a clogged A/C drain and water from the condensation is dumping inside the cab on the passenger side or leaking back through the firewall. Does this sound feasible? If so how do i clear the drain so it drains like it is supposed to. I have read of installing a 90 degree elbow extension to get the drain farther from the firewall and to ensure it drains down. I have climbed in under and around the engine and i have been unable to find where the A/C drain comes through the firewall and into the engine compartment. Can anyone offer any solutions or help? Does this happen to anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going_Going_Gone Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Does your truck have Sirius? Often times leaks develop in the antenna gasket and water will enter and run down the A-pillar to the floor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 It does have a Sirius antenna. That could be the problem i guess, but it happens even when the truck hasnt been wet from rain or even a carwash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
