Tital wave in dash

[Rupp]

Guys,
I just got back from vacation and got in my 2020 RAM 1500 and the first corner I turned I heard what sounded like 30 gallons of water slide across the dash. Next opposite turn the water went to the other side. After about a half of an hour drive the water appears to be gone but where did this come from? I assume it's my air conditioning condenser drain stopped up but the air hasn't been used this year. So where in the world would that water have come from and where is this drain tube so I can check it.

Have a sunroof? Happened in my 2008 Acadia all the sunroof drains were blocked up. I opened it and shot some compressed air through there to clear it.

No I do not have a sunroof.

Rain?

 

[Rupp]

I'm sure it was rain but how did that get into the air conditioner condenser housing?

Drain tube sticks out of the firewall on the right side. I suspect one or both of your cowl drains are blocked.

Your cowl drains are clogged up and water is pooling under the wiper cowl. When you steer the water sloshes from one side of that pan to the other.

How do I clean this area that is plugged up?

Perfect. I'm sure this is the issue. Thanks a ton for the info.

Yes, 100 % cowl drains clogged, happened to me after a big storm where small debris found its way in there. Pop the side pieces and clips and you can remove cowl push pins and pull up front edge of cowl without removing wipers. drains are over on side. If the water doesnt drain, it can find its way into your HVAC intake, soak your cabin filter and run into the cab floor, ask me how I know...

I have the same issue on my 2019 bighorn 2500. Did they give you any reason as to why it wouldn’t rust?

I have found the solution for this problem. Or at least a clean up. See pictures attached.
Remove the cowl under the hood using plastic snaps and removing wipers.
Left and right there are two large holes. One of mine had metallic rubber over it.
In the very corner of each side is a rubberized flapper valve that was clogged up.
I found it by reaching in the hole to grab/clean the gunk in the corner and my finger pushed the flapper open and water poured out from under the truck...
