ford focus 2002 water comes inside thru dash board I checked windshield a?

Question

and is sealed passenger side lots of water on the floor looks that is coming from the dashboard in the middle between the tuo seats do you have this problem before and how did you fix it?
Thanks

I don't think is the core because it happens only when it rains and there is no way to see because it tried it with a hose but inside the car you don't see the source until it stars to drip behind the dashboard

Answer 1

Sounds like a heater core. Does it leak more when the heater is on and has your heater stopped blowing hot air? These are some other signs of a bad heater core.

Heater core replacement is usually a very labor intensive repair.

Hi Dalia:
Here's an idea get a water hose and run water over the windshield while a friend sits inside to see where the leak is.Keep running the water in different places if necessary,once you find exactly where it's leaking you'll have a better idea of how to fix it.. I think you can get windshield sealer at most any auto parts store,or it might be leaking around the door... Maybe this will help...
PS It very well could be the heater core as mentioned earlier...

Answer 3

The heater core is bolted to the firewall, opposite the front passenger. Check your coolant level to see if it is down. Antifreeze can leak from the heater core and run onto the floor in front of the passenger.
Try wiping up some of the water to see if you can detect oily and green colored residue.
If it is the heater core leaking, you will have to replace it.

Answer 4

either your heater core has gone out or the windshield is leaking, windshield leaks cannot be foud just looking at them, you have to run water all over it and have someone inside with a flashlight looking to see where it comes in, and if your heater core is going there will be anti-freeze on your floor and when you turn the defroster on all it will do is steam up your windshield.

Answer 5

Cars always do that, you've just never noticed before. Usually first thing in the morning, not so much during the summer because the ambient temperature is warmer, but most of the rest of the year. It evaporates as the exhaust system heats up, so usually by the time you've gotten where you're going it's gone by then.

Answer 6

take a hose turn it on running,,get in car with flash light and then look for water source
