p2067

Was driving home today when suddenly the instrument cluster went haywire! the clock was going backwards,tempgauge was going up and down etc i must have gotten every fault possible displayed,high temp warning red light got me to stop and check fluids,the car ran perfect besides cluster chaos.When i tried to restart it wouldnt crank and gearstick was stuck in park.I got a p2067 code stored =gear shifter problem,
have anyone had this issues when gearshifter module goes bad? (after cooling down it started again)

Are you sure it was not transmission fluid? The fluid has been known to wick up into the transmission control unit under the passenger floorboard. Look underneath the car at the transmission TCU plug in to the transmission and see if you have a leak.

Well at least it is just rain water. Grab a large bag of rice and put the electronics in a bag of rice overnight to help dry up all the water.

UPDATE!
The cause of all the water was my intercooler underhood tank,when driving the water comes through the hoodvent down on the tank and splashes against the cabinfilter,after years it soaked every electronic unit on passenger side under the carpet.will have to replace headlight relay it was to badly oxidised,other than that everything could be dryed and car is running great again(with tank removed!)

Big heads up for anyone running a under-hood tank

Thanks for the update duccen & pmarino!

Just installed bay tank, thinking if blocking off the whole cabin filter opening will help? And are there any issue by doing so?

You'll probably restrict the the volume of air the squirrel cage fan move, in fresh air mode. It may reduce your front windshield defroster, how much....? You'll have to experiment and report back
Personally, I'd run a 2 piece cover. Overlapped like shingles on a roof. With the top portion having a spacer on the firewall (the bottom piece would sit flush against the fire wall) allowing a covered gap. Allowing water to run off and not infiltrate.

Yes, kinda like an awning for your backyard deck. Thanks for the info...found out it’s not a good idea to cover or close it up.
