i looked under my carper today cuz my ecu fried cuz of water and i found cracks under my carpet, what would cause this and how could i fix this? ithought about under coating it but i dunno if that would fix anything?


first pic look at the wetness



2nd pic cracks i first seen as i lifted the carpet



3rd more asi kept going back towards the sear.



4th the last one i found under the carpet.



u can see dirt in the cracks and there still wet as my carpet is soaking wet. any help on how to fix this? thx

 

They're not "cracks" in the metal, just in the sound deadening tar. They are made when the sound deadening is applied and are supposed to be there.

 

if you havent found the cause of the water, it might be your heater core

 

haha, did you not notice there are several of these "cracks" that look exactly alike.

It could be heater core.

 

y i did notice that heh thats y i was wondering if they were cracks or not

 

Scrape it out!

 

whats the easiest way to check the heater core?

 

You can leave the sound dampener stuff in there, its good to have.
Well the easiest way to see if it is you heater core is smell the water and see if it smells like antifreeze or even has a greenish color to it. FYI(your heater runs of of your engine coolant).
otherwise look under yourdash and see if you see water driping down the firewall on the inside of the car.

 

check the hose under your glove box and make sure its connected, you will know what it is once u look.

mine came udone and i had a huge puddle in there

You'd see green antifreeze all over the place. Your pics don't look like it to me. Could your evaporator drain hose be clogged?

 

that sound **** is crap anyways just get dry ice and scrap that out

Water would drip on the passenger side carpet when running the a/c on humid days.

What year and model is it? Maybe it has some known water leaks.

 

93 dx 1.5 motor

 

could it be possible my windshield is leaking? heh i have a nice crack at the top of it ;o and all the molding is falling off lol.. cuz the clips all broke ;o

 

that could be a good place to look

 

maybe when it runs to the right of the windshield it gets in somehow cuz the hole is there D=
