Here's my problem after a good car wash or rain, water starts to spray on my legs when I am driving at 35+mph (I guess with the wind??) right where the pedals are located. I painted my garage floor and I had to keep my car outside and we had some really bad rain storms. When I opened the door my driver’s side mats where completely soaked with 1/2 inch of water. Does anyone know if this could be because of bad windshield seal or what??

Now it gets weirder, yesterday I turned the car on and my windows won’t go up, interior lights won’t turn on and sunroof won’t work. I checked all fuses and there ok. Everything else works fine (Radio, Instrument Panel Lights, Lights, etc...) and no error codes come up.

If I don’t get a few ideas here I will take it into Porsche but I wanted to check with the brains out there. Please help!

 

I would bet the sunroof drains are clogged.
I hope the brain under the drivers seat did not get wet. That can be very $$$$.

 

I am sure the "brain" under the seat got wet as the front and rear mats where soaked. The strange thing is after I let it dry and got the wet vac working the windows went up and down fine. It wasn’t till a few days later the windows and interior lights stopped working?? Maybe the water finally crept and shorted something?? If my sunroof drains are clogged where would the water run down too?? I am 100% sure the water is entering above my pedals.

Great info Dervish, one more thing to note is now the alarm makes 2 weird chirps when locking and unlocking doors that it never did before. Did the water mess up the Brain under my seat which i think also controls alarm?

 

Door lock microswitch. Are you sure the car is actually locking, check again.
The only way to lock your car will be with the key. Turn it to the lock position and back 3 times in quick succession. This might reset the problem also, maybe sticking microswitch...

 

Where is this microswitch?

 

There's 1 in the door lock. It's most probably eletrical though, you really need to get the car connected to a code reader, that will tell you where the fault is. A double beep means the car thinks there is a fault in the alarm system.

 

You are correct, the car is not locking at all. I tried the manual lock sequence 3 times, and I get 1 beep, but this didn't repair my problem. I will try connecting a fault code reader tonight, but I suspect I have water damage to the alarm brain under the driver's seat. Do you think this problem would also cause my windows and interior lights not to work?

 

It seems to be the usual group of faults, windows not dropping, alarm beeping twice, door not locking. I'd get the fault code read.

 

Just connected my code reader and it found no codes.. No what do you think I should try? I tried disconnecting the battery but that did nothing as well.

 

I just cant understand that no error codes would show up?!!??

 

What kind of code reader did you use? OBDII will not help.

 

What he said. The generic reader won't work. When I used the durametric, all kinds of "soft" codes showed up such as wrong ignition(tried to used a key without the transponder to start the car a few weeks back) which doesn't show on a OBD reader.

 

You need the Porsche reader, PWIS I think? Exactly as others have said. Good luck.
