W204 C250/C300/C350 Water Ingress :(

Car sat outside for ~10 days while it got 6-8” of rain dumped on it. When I went to start it up it showed SRS Malfunction, Cruise Control Malfunction and a CEL. Noticed standing water in the driver’s side footwell, cleaned it up, and restarted- the second time I got ESP inop, Brake and ABS would flicker when I pressed the brakes, and hood open warning would come on intermittently. Doing a thorough dry and hoping for the best.
Someone sell me a car with no computers.

Did drying it get rid of the codes it was throwing? Or did you have to replace any fuses/wiring components..? I have the same problem unfortunately.

[@northeastbavarian4249]

Luckily, drying the car out thoroughly got rid of everything. I don't remember having to clear any codes at all.

I have the same issue. How did you solve your leak problem?

[@northeastbavarian4249]

@@zhgobrown I actually haven’t had the leak problem since, but I have been meaning to clean out the roof drain tubes on my car- will post a video on how to do that when I get to it.

What’s that thing call you take out from under the windshield?

Perhaps you mean the "cowl"? That's the piece that covers the wiper arms.
