Electrical problems / car won't start after rain downpour

[jcb986]

If the interior got a substantial amount of water on the drivers side and got the module wet it may just be malfunctioning and once dried out it may or may not work. I have the same problem and all of my drains are clear. What I found is that the drain under the rubber bladder has a plastic like funnel connect to a rubber drain hose. I believe mine has a leak at the point where the two meet and thus water gets into the air void and will drain down behind the seat. I am thinking about drilling a hole so the water will drain out. What I find a little strange is that most Boxsters leak on that side the most. I have a California Pop Top and it is great and easy to use..check it out.

I think my first step is to get through another couple days of rain. I covered the car for now and once I get another clear day, I'm going to remove the box under the seat and see if it's dry. If not, completely dry it and hook it back up and see. If that doesn't correct the issues, I'll just have to do a little at a time. I did try to lock the doors using the 3 quick turns to the right. That only locks the drivers door (obviously cause the key is in it) but it also trips the solenoid on the rear trunk lock. I just disconnected the battery completely for now just in case.

If anyone had the same issue and got it fixed, please tell me what was replaced so I can follow that route until I have to have Porsche reprogram if needed.

Thanks again guys.

I'll do the same. If I can help anyone else by posting my progress, I think it's worth it.
