Hi please can someone help me.....stupid car driving me nuts. p reg ford galaxy 2.0 litre

 

There was a heavy down pour of rain the rear and front wipers stopped working, plus the heaters also the front/back demisters the jet washes and the handbrake light came on??

 

Also when it rains there is water in the passenger footwell (i heard the water running down the back of panel)??

 

under bonnet the water doesnt seem like it drains away the panel that sits just under the motor was soaked!!

 

Ive checked all fuses none blown but even so i replaced them for new ones just in case. Ive looked at the relays in fuse board but all seems ok no loose ones no corrosion or anything.

 

A friend of mine had a look and said it could be the motor so stupidly i went and bought one it wasnt the motor!!! ahh

 

please can someone reply

 

kind regards kelly

and while your in the area of checking under the passenger seat,plz check the rear wash pipe that runs the length of the car,it has a join in it near the box.saves you time.

also you might have to dry out the carpet etc,lots of newspaper,but you might have to remove the carpet to ensure it drys out completely.
