WARNING! learn from my mistake!
Ok...this is simple. Please keep all trash out of your lower windshield erea! You know the place that trash loves to hang out when you open your hood.I do a ok job of that myself but what happened to me was the rubber pipe thst allows water to escape from under the car had clogged up and water came into my car and fried my BCM, Body Control Module. This is very easy to check.
1) Remove wipers
2) remove plastic cover
3) check for trash on the drivers side where you connect your wiper. There is a rubber tube that is under your wiper bolt.
4) save $500.25 for a new BCM!
Mech at dealership told me that there was two rubber tubes. pas and driver side. I could not get to the one on the Pas side. Is there even one there??????????? I'm getting two stories. It is a 1999 coupe.

I believe they are actualy called utters and a somewhat easy way to get to them is to take off your front tire and then remove about a half dozen screws that hold on the wheel well liner. You will be able to reach up and open the bottom of the "udder" to let out any debris that is stuck.
