Water sloshing sound behind glove box. Took to a repair shop and $$$ later they still can’t find the issue. Any advice?
 
run the AC, if water dripping under then ok, if not, drain is clogged, LIFT the carpet and trim, the kick panel, remove. Water comes in from sat antenna and roof.
 
Thank you. I did run AC and some water does drip. Took back to shop 3 times to tell them to check AC drain AND blow out. They claim they did each time. Water slouches when I excellerate or turn corners. No wetness inside on passenger side. I’m at a loss because I love the truck and just put on new tires new battery and it only has 130,000 miles .
 
Now I have 6 codes with one scanner after taking to shop to clean out ac drain
P0135,p0141,p0155,p0161,p0403,p0443. I am at a loss on this vehicle that never really gave me any issues for 3 years and after taking to shop all kinds of issues.

It was a cracked radiator that was causing the issue. Everyone telling me it was the AC drain but come to find out the radiator plastic had a fairly big crack. So paid$$$$ for new radiator and fluids.

Still have check engine light withp0135,p0141,p0155,and all the above codes.

As much as I love the truck , it doesn’t pay to be a woman and own a sport trac. $$$$ not sure what to do next with codes
 
Those codes stink. Can be a bad wiring harness. Blown fuse, bad computer, or corroded wires under the battery tray, under the air intake housing, and a few other things. Common ford problems with wiring.

My 2003 XLT had that same problem with the sound of water sloshing.
It turned out to be water accumulating in the body rocker panels b/c the drains were clogged.

Mine was a cracked radiator on the plastic part which was hard to see. It took me 4 times at a garage to fix and they kept trying to clean out AC drain and it never fixed issue. Until they noticed a crack in ready, replaced radiator and no more water sloshing. Glad your is fixed
 
Interesting...
I never head water sloshing from a cracked radiator tank.
When mine cracked, I saw corrosion on the alum crimps around the tank edge, so just replaced the radiator with OEM.
Crazy how problems can be the same but appear different for the same vehicle!
