Flat Battery- Windows Open !!

well I found the problem with a bit of googling and investigation. seems there is an issue with the drain holes blocking. when this happens it floods the inside of the car and most at risk is the alarm control module under the drivers seat which controls all things which are related to opening locking and alarming car, such as windows horn lights etc. looks like a rather large bill heading our way so if you haven't already in suggest cleaning out your drain holes

And drill a hole under the seats so next time it rains and the back drains get clogged water can drip out of the car before flodding your electronics, I wonder if putting the whole module inside a heavy duty ziploc bag and tiying the wires tight with zip ties would make it waterproof

Did you seriously just suggest drilling a hole in the floor? That may be the worst advice I've ever heard.

Op, They do make a waterproof case for the ecu, but how do you know yours got wet? Were your drains clogged? Was the area under the seat wet? That's not just the alarm control module but the entire car wouldn't run if that was toast.

Please don't drill holes in your car. This company can help prevent future water damage and correct any existing problems. I do not have any connection with them or first hand knowledge of their abilities. I am considering the water proof box for my car. Good luck.
