Help water in car drivers side/back only
I just wondering if anyone knows or has had water in the car but only on the driver's side floor and the floor behind the driver. I also looked in the trunk under the spare and found a Lil water then my TPM flashed as malfunction and electrical malfunction. I disconnected the white box in the trunk and didn't see water but i tossed it in rice anyway. Can anyone shed some light on this

Check your rear sunroof drains. Exit in the rear wheel well, above the wheel well plastic liner.
Also check for water inside your doors on that side of car. Water will fill the cavity and overflow behind the door cards and the vapor barrier. Open and close doors vigorsaly and listen for water sloshing around. If present, with door open, run your fingers along the outside door gasket. Dirt collects there restricting the flow of water out of the drain holes just under the door gasket, across the bottom of the door.
After all we just went through a hurricane here on the east coast of NE Florida. Wind blown water at hurricane strength can allow water to show up in all sort of areas...
