| Description of the problem | Water leaking in through interior lights. My vehicle does not have a sunroof and water is dripping from the light assembly near the tailgate. After a rain showers in vancouver, wa i entered the back hatch of my car to store my work gear before i left work and there on the tire cover is a puddle of water. I looked up and the assembly as well as the surrounding headliner are soaked. While turning water comes out in a nice solid stream and lands on my clothes and other personal items. A little research shows this has been an issue with fca vehicles since 2007. This water leak causes intermittent electrical shorts. |
