I had this problem this last spring... for me it turned out that my cab lights were leaking and the water was running down the a-pillar and on down to the floorboards. I'd also try taking out the seats and carpet, doesn't take too long, might be able to find a hole in the floor, plus it'll let ya get your carpet completely dry, good luck man

There was a thread about this just a little bit ago.

Something about a drain tube from the heater element or A/C...I can't remember exactly.

Your AC drain is clogged. It's located in the engine compartment on the passenger side under the evaporater canister. RIGHT NEXT to the exhaust manifold, watch your hands (don't ask me how I know this[:@]). You'll need a pencil or some similar object. Stick it in the hole and the water will flow. Got to do it about once a month in the summer, when the alge grows quickly.

Cheers, Doc

They make a chemical or enzyme forpools and ponds that kills algae. Once it gets going, it's really hard to get rid of and grows pretty rapidly. You mightwant to take that tube toHome Depot or Lowes and see about replacing it if your tired of cleaning it out.
