Ford Taurus water leak on passenger side floor from under dashboard on Ford Taurus

Problem overview

Some Ford Taurus owners report experiencing water leaks on the passenger side floor, which may be caused by several factors. These include water seeping into gaps in the plastic trim piece near the windshield, leaking cowls that allow water into the blower motor case, and clogged front drains that route through the A pillars, leading to water accumulation. Additionally, some owners note that a poorly designed grommet at the discharge end can cause clogged drains, resulting in water entering the cabin through the blower fan motor. To address these issues, it is recommended to inspect and seal the cowl area, check for leaks around the windshield, ensure proper alignment of the air conditioning drain housing, and regularly clear debris from the front drains. Prompt attention to these concerns is crucial to prevent further damage or inconvenience.
