Water Intrusion!

If it's not one thing it's another...
Water under passenger carpet. Mostly in the rear.
Can the carpets be lifted enough without removing the seats?
Update!
It was my AC drain line. The rubber elbow no longer has a tight fit to the hard drain line.

That's what I would think. but it looks like the sunroof drain is on the drivers side in the book, so I'll have to dig into it when I have time. I had other plans for the next few days but I need to get this fixed ASAP!

I feel the same way. I have to pull the drivers seat to check for burned wires or a fried DME component. Possibly water-related.

Either way good luck!

That's a great idea. I'm just not sure if it's the sun roof, rear quarter window or rear window yet. I can't see a water trail. I'll have time the next to days to look deeper.

Hey Bill, you really can't do much with the seat still in for the rear carpet area. It's only 4 bolts to hold the seat in. Just remove the passenger seat, loosen the carpet from the door sill area ect. , then lift it up at least a foot or so and put a fan on blowing air at the underside of the carpet, it will be dry the next day.
As far as the source for the water, if not the front battery area drain (which would also have the front area wet), then the sunroof drains, there are 4 drain tubes, one on each corner.

Do I need to disconnect the battery to remove the seats? Also can I drive without the passenger seat if needed or will this throw a seatbelt code?
This may be a good time for me to see if the seat backs can be swapped from side to side.

As soon as my back pain subsides I'll be able to get on it, been a rough week.

If you have a Durametric, erasing the code is no problem.

I will be disconnecting the battery when I pull my seat, just in case there is a wiring issue (short).

.Had an appointment with my massage therapist and am feeling much better! Unfortunately it is raining, so I taped off the sunroof (thinking that was the culprit) but got more water on the passenger front...
