Default Condensation on inside of windows

so the past 2 days I noticed the inside of my truck smells Musty and just now I noticed condensation on the inside of the windows after the trucks been sitting locked up all day. I checked floor mats and the head liner and along the very back of the rear seats on the floor. Nothing is wet. Windows were closed all the way, so are the doors. Any ideas of where else I should check?

The carpets down in the foot wells, along the rocker panels, even take up the rocker cover to see if water got inside it. Also along the floor behind the rear seat. Any low point in the floor is where water will collect.

I just checked again and I can't find any wet spot. I did notice that it appears condensation is already forming on the back window and nowhere else yet. Not sure that means anything.

Do you have a sunroof? If you do are the drain lines clear of dirt and debris? Also check under the dash where the A/C condenser is and be sure the drain there is open.

No sun roof. But how would I check the drain under the dash for the AC? Passenger or driver side?

Passenger side behind the glove box is where most vehicles have the condenser and fan for the a/c. Sometimes the drain will partially plug up and water (condensate) will collect in the bottom of the box spilling out if you make a hard turn. run your A/C a bit on a humid day and look for it to drain onto the ground near the front passenger wheel well. Look up underneath and find the outlet of the drain tube. If you take a stiff wire and run it up to clear the drain and get a deluge you found your problem.
