Need some suggestions.

I have a 2005 convertible SRT6.

Went out this AM after a very hard rain. Car was on a slight slope with rear lower. As I backed up in drive to head out I heard water sloshing behind the glove compartment and then I saw water dripping down onto the floormat from under the dash. Put a few towels on the floor, popped hood, removed minor debris from vent screen below wipers and then had to go. Sloshing continued until all water was soaked into towels. Speakers cut out. Hope when it dries out all will be well.

I assume there is more debris below that screen preventing the water from draining out under the car (BTW, when I bought car a few months ago there were two rubber gromits in the glove box?? probably not related.

Anyway, before I start taking things apart thought it best to seek suggestions.

Thanks in advance!

the speakers might have cutout because the amp is right where you set those towels. you might want to check and see if its ok

 

I wrote this up after I did my new alarm siren https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...t=23022&page=2 post #39

 

Going through the same thing now. On the engine side of the fire wall, there are two drains, one very visible the other is up under and next to where the longer one is. There is also a lot more water than those towels can get. Pull the carpet back and to reveal channels of water under the pad. Back the rear of the car up onto ramps and drain the water forward. Wet dry vac gets most of it. I am going to pull the carpet to allow the foam pad to dry completely to prevent mold and stink. What a pain. Good luck

I dont know if you figured out the problem yet, but read my post

This is a really common problem and it can lead to the blower motor catching fire. As of yet Chrysler offers no repair though this problem is a manufacturing defect. I suggest everyone with this issue file a complant https://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/ivoq/ Hopefully we can get a recall and get Chrysler to fix this problem before someone's Xfire catches fire and burns up.

 

This is an awesome idea... Buick had to do similar recalls for the passenger area due to fire possibilities. I don't see why us Chrysler owners shouldnt have the same recalls when something so dangerous such as this is possible.

 

Keep your drains clean. $hit happens, read all this guys posts.

 

 

i had to buy a blower motor and blower module because of this leak and it also corroded the plug connection to my amp and fried the amp. just got this car 4 months ago and so far its eating my wallet nicely. considering getting rid of it
