So my car has gotten water in it. Leaking from the weatherstripping where the windshield and removable roof seal. Driver side ended up getting a good bit of water in it from a passing storm. Got must of it out and drove fine to work. Leaving work that day I got the famous Reduce engine power, service Trac system, tire monitor system etc. Cleaned the to main gourd blocks in the engine bay and check the other 2 ground by the firewall. Driver seat motor stopped working and lumbar. After removing the seat and noticing the connection for the motor had a lot of corrosion and a wire had fallen out of it. After unplugging the seat I put the key in and all the codes were gone. Couldn't continue to work on it as the day ended. Now a few weeks later after thinking the problem was solved I'm getting the same codes expect now I get a service column lock with it as well. Car starts up perfect and idles smooth. Started to back it out when I saw the rpms drop off after releasing the clutch, went to give it gas and nothing. The gas pedal has no registering at all. Also I have to disconnect the battery because my truck and dash lights won't cut off with the key out of it. Trunk will not open at all as well. Currently I am removing all the carpet and cleaning and drying it as well as the rest of the car. Any ideas on where the problems may be? It's obvious that it is something electronic, as I'm not the best with that kind of stuff.

 

If you don't know how to pull them from the dash we can help.

Mr. Sam

 

I will pull the codes today after work. The only past codes the car has ever had was a steering wheel potion sensor code. But that was way before this ever started.

 

Very good. Also make sure your battery has at least 12.5 volts when not running.


Mr. Sam

 

Battery is perfect. Only a month old. 12.62 volts.

 

 

Yes pass. Side is wet too. I haven't got to that side of removal yet but I do have the cover off. There is definitely some moisture down there as well as some water around the fuse box.

 

Oh boy, get to work to dry out the passenger side FIRST.


Mr. Sam

 

After you pull the carpet out try drying the fuse box and BCM with a hair dryer set on the low setting. Prop it up on something, aim it towards the area and just let it run. Should help in drying everything out.

 

Definitely will bust out the hair dryer since this cold winter weather isn't going to cut it. Is there a known leak around the firewall in the Geral area as well because when I removed the fuse box cover I did have a tiny stream of water come down from there. Looks to be right about where the ecm is. I didn't notice anything unusual when I was cleaning the ground under the battery tray.

 

I was going to suggest that as well, ya beat me to it !

 

OK guys srry it took me so long work has had me so busy. But back to it. I removed the bcm and let it sit in the house while the car aired out. Plugged up my scanner and no codes found. Door locks and such seem to be working again. Haven't gotten to start it yet but will update when I do if the gas pedal is working again.
