I had this same problem. Underneath the black plastic cowling under the windshield wiper on the passenger side there is a rubber gasket that covers the access hole where the heater and fan are located. Over time this gasket gets brittle or sags and allows water to drip down onto the heater and fan and settles in the footwell in the passenger side. I researched it online and found a video showing how to repair it. The replacement gasket part is available on line. Search under “water on passenger side” for video and “water deflector” for part. As in my case... if not taken care, it can ruin the heater and the blower resistor.

Im on my 3 rd replacement of that part. Poor design with thin plastic over heat. And wonder why it warps. Wondering why sheet metal cut to shape and siliconed into place wouldnt be a better longterm fix.....
