+1 for water ingress.

If it is "botang's hole" -- google for it -- you will discover water under carpers in passenger footwell. In this case water is dripping right on ABS relay, which is located below glove box. You don't need to remove glovebox to remove that relay. If water was dripping on it the relay chasis will be full of water.

Have you been driving in rain when it happened ?

I fixed that hole in my FL car this year.

If you find water under passenger carpet please check your ABS relay (as well as other relays) under glovebox.
