Sunroof and Antennae Drain Hoses Clogged?
Sunroof and Antennae Drain Hoses Clogged?
Hi there:
I am in the process of getting my factory alarm back to normal and have received several suggestions of what to look out for and what to check.
A member just wrote me that his keyless unit got some water in it and it ended up being a leak from the sunroof. I know that the drain hoses for the sunroof run along the edge of the roof, along the rear roof pillar and exit the bottoms of the quarters. I also remember there being a separate drain hose that connects to the drain hose on the end of the antennae motor (connected with a metal "Y" piece) that you couldn't pull off if you wanted to.
When I pulled the antennae motor, I carefully pulled out the drain end from its hole in the bottom of the quarter panel and left it all attached. My question is, does that separate hose run to the sunroof? And if it does, is it possible that there is something blocking the drain hose exit? If water is not allowed to drain out, I assume it will leak out of top of the antennae motor and that could have shorted out the keyless unit. Far fetched???
If someone knows where the second drain hose is coming from, please let me know. Either way, I will pull it out and make sure it is draining properly when I install the replacement keyless unit. I read you can check it by pouring some water on the sunroof edge and making sure the water is exiting the underside of the quarter panel
This is turning into an epic.........
