Major Electrical Problem

[MixtapeMessiah]

Ok it rained for 4 days straight and my car kinda got a little flooded, not that much but water had gotten in and covered my floorboards with about an inch or two. Once in a while when I start her up like nothing in the inside works, my electric fan dont work, the ac compressor wont switch over and windows, door locks all that. I did sum voltage drops from to the fuse box but ehh everything looked rite. Im gonna hook her up to the GM scantool on monday so Im gonna see whatsup with her :alcoholic:

I had water leaking in on the drivers side, my windsheild had leaks in the bottom letting watter / rain in that would drip down through my fuse box. messing up my whole electrical system.

I say this alot. lol, But check your fuses for corrosion, and small hair line breaks. They cause lots of problems.

i had a leak in the bottom driver corner of my windshield on my vw and it caused so many problems because i only had the one fuse/relay box in that corner.. i got it replaced and they showed me the old one all taken apart every thing was so eaten away and rusty some of the spots were fused together they were suprised that the car hadnt started on fire.. but yeah check out all the fuse connections and ur relays any corrosion will be a sign might need alot of electrical done

Yah that's basically what happened to me.

I replaced my windsheild, and I went to the junkyard, and yanked a good looking fusebox out of another alero and it fixed EVERYTHING. car runs better now than when I bought it. :D

leaky windshield from factory?? :glare:

[exnine@gmail.com]

Nope, I purchased the car used. And appearantly almost all of my windows have been replaced, however the company, or person that replaced them did a horrible job.

Where I got them re-replaced the guy working on it showed me the old windshield and there were giant gaps, and spaces where he didn't use the sealant / glue at all.

I found out the problem, aint leaky doorseals either. Its my ECM is blown hardcore and I need a new wiring harness also : / Man that GM scantool is bad a*ss, told me a lot. I need a new egr valve, and MAF sensor, and my tranny is now officially fu*cked so im pretty screwed lol :gun:

[exnine@gmail.com]

Jeez man. That sucks. Good luck with all of that.

[MixtapeMessiah]

Indeed, but its in the shop rite now so its all good.

[MixtapeMessiah]

Nah I go to UTI and im in driveability workin with nothing but scan tools for gm, ford, import etc. We got all that sh*it, U can buy the GM scan tool but its 4000 dollars haha, that sh*t aint cheap, oh but its worth it if u work on nothing but GM.

[MixtapeMessiah]

Correction the gm scan tool called TECH II costs $3500 lol but its a kick a*ss tool to have.
