Glad to hear you got your car running!!!! My '87 944S quit after a rainstorm--leaky battery tray. After I dissassembled the DME and dried it, it was fine. I think I'm going to mount it under the glove box, so if any water does leak past the battery tray, it will have to travel *uphill *
to reach the DME. Won't be *concourse*, but might get you home with no problems.
Cheers,

That sounds like a good idea. My battery try has a whole in it and I assume it has been leaking. The front and rear passenger floor has been soaked a few times when it rains heavy. IS seems like most of the water is getting from the door area but I don't know how. The area where the DME is housed did not have any signs of being wet.

Where is the hole? The drain is in the outside behind the battery. You might what to use some weed eater string and clean it out. If the hole is elsewhere fix it.

Could water be getting into the car through the door? When I open the passenger door after a heavy rain there is a puddle on the sill. As I open the door a lot of water dripe out.

Where do I go to get the DME rebuilt?
