Frost inside

[Echo42987]

So I haven't ever noticed on any of my other vehicles. But the inside of my 2014 Ram 1500 has frost on the windows. Granted it has been a bit chilly up here in Antioch, IL. But I am curious if there is a "leak" or bad "seal" somewhere. Does anyone else have this problems with their trucks? I feel that this shouldn't be happening. Was just curious on some input. Thanks guys!

There was just a thread on this a few days back. Having an exterior leak can cause what you saw, but just moisture in the interior from your body and moisture deposited to the interior carpet from getting in with wet shoes create the same.

Check for water leaks by seeing if carpets are wet in front or back. The rear cab light is a common source of such leaks. But in your case there is a likely chance it was just weather conditions combined with the humidity in the cab created by normal circumstances. Run the defroster and it will extract excess moisture.

I was just going to ask the same thing, no leaks that I can find, no excessive moisture inside, but several mornings I've had frost inside, and then just the other day at leaving work after the truck had warmed up. At least 10mins I get on the freeway, get up to speed and the inside of the windshield flashed over with thick frost in an instant, had to stick my head out the window to see to pull over.

That's not normal. I'm betting you have leak. Check under the rear seat for dampness from the third brakelight.

mine did the same thing just as it warmed up enough to blow heat all my windows fogged up and got covered in frost. i know my floor mats have some snow/ice build up which would add moisture but it should have still been very frozen at that time. only took about 2-3 min for it to go away bad like you it was bad enough that i had to pull over

This is the second winter I'm going thru in my truck and this has never happened……yet.

my theory is that the fan is blowing in moisture which hits the cold windows and freezes

I think it is unacceptable to have that much moisture on the inside of a vehicle. If it were me, I'd find the cause and stop it. Only a matter of time until mildew sets in.

That's my point. This shouldn't be happening, whether or not I have water sitting on my weathertechs. It doesn't happen in ANY of my other vehicles. I might contact my Ram dealership and see if it's something they can look into. Even with water sitting in the bed of the truck it shouldn't frost over the interior windows like it has. I haven't noticed any damp spots since I put weathertechs down this time of year, but didn't check back behind the second row. I will have to do that.

Yeah, somethings not right. I have had 2 4th gen Rams and neither of them did that.

I'd like to add when it happened it was like -10F

 

[NYCruiser]

Shouldn't matter.

I haven't been able to talk to my dealer on this yet, but still intend on doing so.
