Spilled a gallon of water in passenger floor board

wepio · 08-25-2015, 07:44 PM

So... I went to the grocer's and got a 2.5 gallon jug of water. I got home with about 1.5 gallons (the difference being a puddle on the passenger floor).

What electronics are there down in that area? I soaked up what I could, but there is a plastic panel covering something, and I don't know what it is. I didn't see an amplifier down there, and the seat motor is high enough I think.

I have Logic 7 Premium sound. Are there audio components/wires I can't see I should be worried about?

Help is appreciated. Thank you.

As long as it didn't reach the underseat speaker, I think you're okay. I'd just towel dry, vacuum, and blow dry.

Ok. Well, if it's under that plastic panel/cover, than it might have? It is what it is. I was going to run an errand tonight, but I chose to let it dry out a bit over night. I'm staying at a hotel, so don't have easy access to a vacuum or a blow drier.

Thanks for the reply.

There's only a loudspeaker under the seat. The seat control module itself is higher, suspended on the seat itself, and the airbag module is also out of reach for water on the floor. Just refrain from using the radio and let it dry, should self correct. You may blow up the L7 amp in addition to the speaker if you try to use the radio, that could prove expensive.
