why is my floorboard wet?

fiveohpatrol · 02-09-2001, 07:23 PM

i have a 92 ranger and i just noticed tonight that the passenger side floorboard was soaked after a long and hard rain today, what can be causing this? i can remember that my brothers old 87 bronco II did the same thing, could it be a the seal around the lower part of the windshield? im not extremely worried about it cause i dont have to put my feel there and the truck is a junker but if it would be easy to fit it i would, thanks guys

Smell any antifreeze? If so the heater core could have gone out...

Did you drive it? If so, check under it to see if there is any corrosion or any seals that water might have gotten in to...

It woud be my guess that it is a leak along the windshield. Probably at the top as that's where all of my leaks have been. It is probably a heater core if you smell antifreeze though. Get a friend with a hose or go to the car wash and spary some water around the windshield to see if that's it.

i know that its just water so its not the heater core, i did drive it during the hard rain for about an hour and a half coming home for the weekend from college if that tells you anything, i'll check from underneath and the windshield to see what up
