Hello,

About two weeks ago I ran my 2014 Dodge Ram 1500 Crew Cab through the car wash and noticed I had soapy water leaking on my floor mat on the passenger side (a bunch of water). It was soapy and red just like the soap that was being used. After I lifted up the floor mat it was soaked as well.

AC Drain is draining well and the heater core is not leaking from what I can tell.

I took it to the dealer this week and they stated they have ran it though their car was a few times and put it under a sprinkler and have not been able to duplicate the problem.

Question is what in the world could it be I know I am not loosing my mind.

It was towards the middle of the cab so I do not see how it could be anything with the door.

Any advise or anyone that has went through this would be appreciated.

Do you have sunroof? If not then something got in your window seal from the angle of that power washer, to they same wash and see if it happens again. If you have sunroof then your drain is clogged

Hello, No sunroof at all
Them it's your glass seal. My last ram did that went around the seal and found a soft spot, fixed it and it fixed it!

Well, my 13 Ram Quad Cab started a leak that drips from the plastic bolt cover on oh sh¥T handle on passenger side. About 3 weeks ago I put in molded floor Matts, started seeing a few quarter size spots of water, started watching, every night it rained, had same issue. But if I parked truck level, no water. Was thinking, 3rd brake light, but I sealed that last year. Thinking it is windshield on mine leaking out pull handle. Reading many posts, best way to find out where leak is, cut a piece of cardboard, put a shop vac on blow, into window and seal as good as you can. Get bottle of soapy water and spray around window etc, will bubble when you find the leak. I still need to do this. My seals all look good, no sunroof and truck has about 55k miles.

maybe the guy in the car wash hit the window button and the window had such a small crack water would of poured into the cab and then on the other side they wiped the door panel off so you didn't see the water on it
