Need Help with My 2010 Ford Escape 3.0 XLT

I just got a 2010 Gold Ford Escape 3.0 XLT, which I’ve named Goldie. It has 134,500 miles on it, and I’m dealing with a few issues. I’m hoping folks can chime in with some advice.

  1. The carpet is wet on both the passenger and driver’s sides under the mats.
  2. The battery light stays on constantly, even though I had both the battery and alternator checked at AutoZone, and they seem fine.
  3. The tachometer doesn’t work or move at all.
  4. I have to push in the key to get the ignition to work and start the car.

If anyone has experienced similar issues or has any suggestions, I’d really appreciate the help!
