View attachment 223133 phone module, that's exactly where this was. Two permanent lives seeped in water
Is that the source of the battery drain?

I'll possibly know tomorrow after its sat for 24hrs, it was on 13v when I walked away from it. Tomorrow I'll clean and start putting things back into place and go on from there.
Just the Voda phone piece, DVD SatNav and multi cd player will go back in. The rest is to be thrown the owner isn't interested in the rest. The phone won't be needed but I'm worried as it is plumbed into an optics line if it should stay but be left un powered as it is the offending plug in the previous pic.
you may need to get one of those fibre loop back connectors.
What if I just strip them back and tape em up
I'll connect the optics but not the power side
IMO you only need to loop the fibre. If you had a tube the right diameter you may get away with putting a fibre in each end to line them up.
Hmm, Food for thought..
Bedtime, I'm out have a good evening peeps.

I did the plastic bag solution, before anything happened. I was checking the area to see where water might get in. Imagine my surprise when a gap, big enough to get my pinkie through, appeared. I thought I'd broken something!
Looks like they use the same sealant they used on my wifes Corsa that gives up after 15 years. Now that was a pita to re seal.

Ah well we'll see how long my multi-purpose sealant lasts
Cut a biro pen up (other makes avalable) stick the fiber in each end bit of tape round it to hold them in place and jobs a good un.
Well, that's not good. Even if I find the corroded thingy me bizzles or the rubbed through duck tunnel the water in the base plate of the car will soon put an end to the fix very quickly.
So, I did the watering down and nothing shows...
So removed some trim only to find out that the roof is soaking behind the lining, the c piller is soaking behind, the floor under the rear sears is soaking and the rear floor near the door tread plates has half an inch of water sitting in a track... The drivers side areas as well... The interior of the rear arches have whole through and when the heater is on the air from the car escapes via the holed inner arch.. So... If there's air getting out the moisture is getting.. It's gets warm inside the car and rises to the higher regions and drops back down again. A bit like a 3t self contained rain Forrest but without birds and monkeys... Watch this space after I've spoken to the poor bloke who owns it...

Sounds like leaks worse than a tratter

My tratter don't leak that bad. Think that particular 1 should be compared to a sieve
sounds like the sieve might winI hope for Mark that the customer understands this will take some man hours to sort.

Yep sounds like a lot of drying out and sorting out where its coming in, and then sorting out all the damp connectors
could be looking at future problems like cars that have been in a flood.
Don't say that.... They'll be round your house with pitch forks!!!Sounds like leaks worse than a tratter
Shouting burn 'I'm!!
In fact, I'm leaving straight away.
