SOURCE: Wet carpet under front Passenger seat

You have drain blockage in the condesor case itself. There is a small tube that will drain the condensor case, the big black plastic case that contains most of your a/c system inside the car. This case collects moisture and that must drain normally from the case drain to the outside of your car onto the ground.. If this drain is plugged, you will have leakage on to the floor. If the moisture is allowed to remain in the carpet, mildew will set in and then you will have to replace the carpet.

SOURCE: Audi 2005 A6 4.2 Flooded cabin,Navigation not working....help!

I had a similar problem, the cabin flooded and destroyed the computer under the seat. UK car 2002 2.4 v6. There seem to be several spots to check. Remove the grommet in the metal work under the battery to allow water to drain. Check plastic strip on the lower edge of the windscreen is clean and fitting snugly against the glass. Clean out old leaves etc. And check that all is sound around the aircon filter. Good luck.

SOURCE: Water leaking into 2005 Camry 6 cyl under carpet drivers side.

I think that I can help you. It sounds like your drain-tube is plugged up. Get in the passenger side, and pull the carpet back from under the glove box. Look for a black rubber pipe that goes from a black box, and pokes thru the firewall, on the passenger side. Remove the hose from the box, and have a container ready to catch water. If water comes out of the black box, your drain hose is plugged up. Clean out the clog, and you will be golden.

I have a 2000 range rover sport hse that won't start and I have no spark what does this vehicle get spark since their is no distributer

being that it is range rover, it should tolerate :some:water, but, you may have to pull the computers and clean them and/or the connections (if they were damaged by the flooding, then I wish you good luck!)

2000 land rover hse fuel door wont open with switch on dash

If the door isnt damaged or otherwise stuck check your manual and refer to the "under-seat fuse panel" diagram. It is an electric switch hence it does have a fuse. Good luck!

In my 2000 chevy Impala has a water leaks under dashboard onto passenger floor, only when it rains?

I had the same problem with a 1994 Taurus. Within the front fender was 10 years of pine needles and leaves blocking the drain backing the water up in and over the fire wall and into the front passenger seat floor.
I took a LONG pair of needle nose pliers threw the passenger side door, and was able to remove enough debree. After pulling out out about 5 fist full's of yuck, 1 gallon a water that was stuck some where poured out flushing out the drain. I did the same on the drivers side. After that I had no problems with floods. I hope this helps. If not check your back door weather stripping if you have one. I have heard water leaking behind the passengers seatbelt and onto the floor from under the seat. Got to love Florida's rain season(s)

The radio haves a short it works sometimes . some one told me i have a blowed amp. how do i fix it?

This can be a common problem if you take your car off road and water gets into the cabin. The amp is underneath the passenger seat. The seat has to be removed to get to the amp. Aftermarket amps are generally not compatible with the factory sound system, so you will need to get a replacement amp made specifically with your car.

Since I purchased my 2000 GMC Yukon XL 1500 we have had a water leak that soaks the drivers side floor and passenger floor behind the drivers seat. I took it to my GMC dealer and they had it two days and...

You may be right about the sun roof. It should have 4 tubes to drain water that comes in around the glass. Sometimes the tubes fall off letting the water come into the cabin. The horn may be the part in the wheel. Apply it at different angles and it might start working. Sometimes they get rusty. I think your cabin filter would be under the hood near the firewall on the passenger side with a plastic cover.

Audi 2005 A6 4.2 Flooded cabin,Navigation not working....help!

Wow I thought they would have fixed this on the newer body style. My old 2000 A6 had the same issue. There is a drain in front of the bulkhead that gets blocked, in my case by pine needles from my tree. I used a coat hanger to clear it and then cleaned it every couple of months and no more drowning carpet. It used to be next to the battery(which they moved to the trunk) under the windshield wiper motor. I haven't checked the exact location on my 2005 but good to know it's still an issue.
