It is somewhere behind the right front tire. That's where condensate drops from when I run my ac. Probably behind the inner plastic fender shield

Had this problem a few years ago. Looked under the dash on passenger side and piping was frozen completely. Ran for a few days with the fan on but not the a/c and it thawed and haven't had a problem since.

Ive got the same problem with my 2005 Dakota. Thought it was rain water because we'd had a lot of rain, but it happened yesterday and not a cloud in the sky. And, I mean it is SOPPING wet, not just a little water. Did anyone ever figure this out?

Mine is soaked on the drivers side..no rain and I haven't been using the a/c much. Thing is my drain tube works fine, I always have a puddle of water under the truck on passenger side. Only thing that it could maybe be is my third brake light allows water to come in? I have no clue but it is gross and I need to fix it asap.

There is a TSB (#26-027-06) that came out for the 2006 Dakota, Passenger Compartment - Water Leak Diagnosis.

Lets hope this link works, and it helps some of you out.

I had the same problem with my 2011. There is no tube or hose on my truck. The drain goes out thru the firewall, behind the pass. valve cover, a few inches lower. It is hard to see, but you can feel the opening. There was a large piece of insulation partially blocking the bottom of the drain. I used a piece of pvc pipe and pushed the insulation down away from the hole. If you look inside under the glove box, you can see the black plastic case and follow it to the firewall. the drain goes out there. About 1'' wide by 1 1/4 tall. Hope this helps.

The linked TSB above is for the Passenger compartment (drivers side too), not Passenger side.

Where are those pictures? It's close to a year now lol.
Jaded. I am having the exact problem with my 05 Dakota. The passenger floor board becomes soaking wet but only at highway speeds. Seeing your post actually lead me to check if it was only happening at higher speeds, and sure enough it was! Did you come up with a solution?
