Hello everyone,
I picked up a 96 EB explorer for 800 bucks and so far Ive been focusing on the leak(s) from under ? the dash..
I found a wire that was cut and it might run into this speaker looking thing that is under the dash behind the e brake near left foot.
I started with the moon roof because it wouldn't close. After climbing up there I found a used hypodermic syringe jammed in the housing and blocking the moon roof from closing all the way. I poured water in there and it drained nicely. No water on driver floor. So climbing under the dash I see a few things.A black wire leading to nowhere and this black box. You might also notice the rust on the firewall so I can imagine there is a seal allowing moisture through from engine compartment.
I have poured a lot of water into the cowls and down the windshield but I cannot recreate the water leak on the driver floor. I will drive it through a carwash and see what happens then.
The alarm works well so I am at a loss for the wire and " speaker ?" thing..
anyone know what these are for ? please see attached files.
Happy holidays !
