zj water leak
I have a 97 zj with 150,000 miles. I have a small water leak somewhere from my front passenger side. its ruining my fuse box every time it rains. anybody have any idea what it might be or what i should check?
I park my car on a hill and every time i leave my parking spot it sounds like i have a fish tank inside my car because i can hear the water move back and fourth.
thanks
kevin

Remove the plastic grille and check the air intake at the base of the windshield. Sometimes the drains in the corners in there get plugged up with leaves/debris and that allows water to pool up and run into the heater's fresh air intake there. It then fills up the heater/EVAP box until it runs out on the floor. That could be the sloshing noise you hear.

Does your Orvis have a Sun Roof? If so they have drains that plug up also. The tiny little holes near each corner of the sunroof.
