3" of water in the G, NICE!!!

So, as some of you may recall may car would continue to die as the radio would somehow stay on and I would always lose power. Today same thing happened, but i realized my driver side carpet was SOAKED! today it rained in the north east, but i did not leave anything open, so i started looking and under the carpet found the entire car FILLED with water, my fuse box was literally dripping water!! What happend was the grommet where the power cable for the Amp goes through must have moved so all the water that runs down the car was running into it! Luckily it seems the problem is fixed, Im running the heater in the car for all the water to dry up. So just be careful when you wire things that you CLOSE the GROMMETS

Well there's calcium deposits on the fuse box terminals, but besides that all things electrical seem fine for now.

Glad you caught it when you did. Things could have gotten a whole lot worse for you. Good luck that there are no long term problems.

Yup. Messing with that grommet is bad news. Happened to me too.
