fresh water there has only 2 sources.
1: rain (or parked near powerful sprinklers)
2: condensate from HVAC Evaporator pan drain clogged
are you using AC cooling? yes/no? or heater mode,in defrost ,mode ,yes/no? ,if NO and NO, see #1
rain gets from bad door gaskets(seals), or broken glass or from
front top , front of windshield glass ,cowling drains clogged.
Check where the ECU is mounted as I have an MX-5 & the ECU is mounted in the passenger side footwell & when it was raining the soft-top was letting water in at the rear & it was collecting in the footwell & affecting the ECU but only when the weather was wet. Worth a look?
And where exactly is this rain coming from? The sun roof? The door seals? Seeping in down in the footwells (soggy carpet)?
Sometimes "rain" can be mistaken for A/C condensate that is not draining due to a plugged condensate drain. If your A/C is running and it's hot and humid out then you should see some water drips on the ground underneath the front area of the vehicle. Let it sit in one location for a few minutes after you come in from driving it. Let it sit for a few minutes with the engine and A/C running. Move the vehicle and look for the telltale wet spots from the condensate drain. If you don't see a wet spot then chances are the drain is plugged. The condensate will back up and drain inside the car ...typically in the passenger footwell and making the carpet wet.
I have had water intermittently in the right rear trunk area (below the battery) every since an rear end accident. The dealer tells me that there is a vent back there that gets clogged up or opened up and lets water get in there. Not sure that I believe that, but that's the best explanation that they could give me.
Look in the front door frame, there are drains from the sunroof that are possibly plugged.
Squeeze the plastics nipples to see if water or dirt/debris comes out.
I took a 10" piece of metal shirt hanger and ran it up the nipple and alot of **** came out. Solved my problem.
