Description of the problem	Since june 2018 i began to notice a smell inside the cabin of my truck. The smell can be described as a wet gym sock and seemed to come around when i used the a/c. I took the truck into my local ford dealership to see if they could locate the source of the smell. They thought it was coming from my a/c unit and checked the drain hose and found nothing, but said it was probably mildew in the house. They sprayed the hose with a disinfectant and it seemed to stop the odor. In august the smell returned and i began to notice that the smell was very strong when running the a/c when it was raining or after it had just rained. I contacted my local ford dealership again and told them was i was noticing and asked if that would help pinpoint the cause. They related they would look into it and eventually called in september and said that they could not diagnose the problem but wanted to vehicle. I again took the truck into ford who finally located the problem, the third brake light. They explained that the brake light was allowing water to get in and travel into the plastic tube that goes into my vehicle and down to the rear right seat. The plastic tube hold the wiring for the third brake light. The technician related that when he felt underneath the floor my carpet was soaked. They eventually peeled back my carpet and cleaned it up using a dehumidifier and detailing services. They then replaced the third brake. None of the above was covered under warranty and had to pay all costs though it sounds to me that the 2015 ford has the same third brake light issue as the 2009 ford. My service manager related that they have been receiving multiple calls regarding same issue being caused by the third brake light or sunroof in f150s.
