Water leak??
Long story short... We had a huge rainstorm yesterday and I ended up with 2 or so inches of water in my passenger compartment. The BCM got wet and the car wouldn't start. Any idea how water would get in even though the window seals well?? I took the BCM apart, cleaned off the corrosion (
) and let it dry overnight. I plugged it back in and everything fired right up. I just need to see if I can find the leak. Thanks guys!

the water may not have come in through the windows - a common source is that the drain system for the AC and windshield gets plugged up. There is a sticky at the top of the C5 Tech section that deals with leaks - check for the part that talks about cleaning out the udders.
