Water Mystery, HELP
Ok here's one for you. Left to go on vacation 9 days ago and parked my 99
Wrangler at a Park & Fly. At this time of year in Alaska there is quite a
bit of condensation but this is ridiculous. When we got back I discovered at
least 2 gallons of standing water on the front driver's side floor. Any idea
where this might have come from or why did it not drain? I do recall the day
we left there was a small snow & rain storm but the water wasn't there when
I got out of the vehicle. This is too strange for me. Has anyone encountered
such an ordeal with their Wrangler?
Thanx,
Mike

Re: Water Mystery, HELP
I would be checking the air intake drain. It is under the hood by the
battery and is a long fat tube. If this gets plugged with ice or leaves
the box can fill up and leak. In order to leak it must have a crappy
seal, but they are known for that, having a crappie seal.
And in order to drain water, you need to pull the plug in the floor....

Another possibility could be debris in the cowl vent.
