ChristineC:
hello house
is this part (covers the A/C air filter from under the hood in a G35) supposed to be open?

aieromon:
Yes

ChristineC:

how do you deal when water is always getting in when it rains?

kingreign:


Take a picture of your windshield cowl, then remove the cowl and battery cover and take a picture of the Air Inlet Vent. Post it here, I'd advise accordingly.

Seal where the water is dripping from. When I had the issue, water was entering from the black plastic on the windshield. I had to seal it.

I don't know if the G35 has the same design but in the G37, you have to lift that plastic to remove the battery.

If you don't seal it back, water will drip into the car and can damage your blower motor.

kingreign:
There is suppose to be a black thin strip of plastic lining the upper portion of your cowl, I can't see it in the picture

ChristineC:

ok it must have been misplaced. thank you.

aieromon:


I've never experienced this. The windshield cowl is supposed to channel the water away from the firewall. My guess is that the drainage is blocked with dirt and dead leaves.

kingreign:


That is actually the weather/water seal. Have it replaced pls, your IDPM E/R sits close to that battery bay.

ChristineC:

hmmm the design seem unpractical. it seem the cowl part was designed to always be sealed with each battery swap.
what if it's covered to some extent with cellophane?

ChristineC:
what is IDPM E/R please?

ChristineC:
what is IDPM E/R please?

Itsrm:


Just a fancy name for fuse box

Itsrm:


I don't know what Nissan was thinking. It was a senseless design.

The cellophane should work as a stopgap. What I would do is run a paper tape across it and cover the paper tape with original black abro tape.

And as Kingreign noted, towards your left, there should be a small black plastic between the A pillar and the windscreen. It's usually two. One on each side of the vehicle. If missing, you have to find a way to run the tapes across that space as well.

You're even fortunate to have caught it on time, in my own case, the water leaked inside and damaged the BCM.

kingreign:


It's not just a fancy name for fuse box sir, and it's not just a fusebox. It's more like a SAM in Mercedes.

ChristineC:

it would appear something is missing like a poster pointed out.

ChristineC:
thanks I will try to find a permanent solution. I haven't really noticed it ever.
the vehicle is usually parked under a shade and I'm not around.
someone parked it outside for some days and noticed the water dropping seriously from the passenger side and a soaked under carpet.

aieromon:
The setup looks fine. I can see the black rubber strip ontop the cowl.

If by shade, you mean under a tree, please check for firewall drainage block.
Also check for a sunroof drainage block because the leak is dangerously close to the BCM.

kingreign:
For the water dripping into the carpet, I strongly believe it's your sunroof drain.

There are very well documented reports and repairs on these.

ChristineC:

it is usually parked in a garage actually.
the battery was replaced and the cowl left unsealed. maybe sealing it up again with something like the windshield gum will do the job.
although looking at it closely, the design is really crazy

Stop on! I had a similar issue, and it was a clog in the sunroof drain.

Please, is there a reliable Auto electrician you can recommend in Lagos? I have the annoying P0011 code. I've changed the Solenloid in bank one, but the issue persists. Before moving into the cam and crankshaft sensors, I would love for a reliable auto electrician to test the wires. It's not an oil issue as I've done an oil change in recent times.

Could be gallery gasket.

What vehicle and model is this? What you should have done is swap the solenoid before you changed it. If the code changes from P0011 to P0021 you know its the Solenoid.

PS: Where did you get the solenoid? Is it new or used?

cooldudeng:



Thanks! That was the brief to him. Unfortunately, he was too quick to change. Hence, my reason for wanting to change him since he’s too big to follow guidance and he’s now sounding like a Kazeem. TBH, I suspect it could be a possibility going my YouTube videos @ gallery basket. However, I just want all the wires checked first.

It’s a G37 coupe 2010. The solenoid is a new one.
