Water under seats

[MNBoxster]

Hi,

Well, I would vacuum the area under the seat, probably remove the seat to insure getting all the water up. My car is never in the rain, but if it were exposed to the elements, and considering how expensive the Control Module is and how easily it can fry, as a protective measure I'd probably remove it from the floor and set it in one of those Rubbermaid containers and screw it back down. That way, you need to get better than an inch of water in the car before it could rise over the sides of the container and attack the Control Module. I wouldn't put a top on the container to avoid trapping moisture which could cause the same problem. Since it's under the seat, it would be all but invisible, but offer good protection. Hope this helps...

Interesting - very creative Jim.

Great idea, MNBoxster! Paint the container black and use a rubber grommet for each of the screws. Water tight and invisible.

Good luck,

i had water there as well, couldnt figure out how it got there, then i looked on the other side, and what do you know one screw that was holding a plastic piece under the car was missing, so i just put one one and now no more water in there

what are they using as a tool a screwdriver? There is that many drains? Also i am assuming i need to put the top up in the service mode to clean ome of the drains.
