Help! '04 having electrical issues after heavy rain!!

[neothegoonie]

Had a strong rain storm last night, went to start the car this morning and had no power...says "reduced engine power, low fuel" door locks and windows do not work....my assumption is something got wet.....is there an easy fix for this, also any advice on how to clear the front cowl drains?

thanks for any input!

Well the first thing that you need to do is post your diagnostic codes. That is always the first place to start when trouble-shooting these cars. Second, you need to tell us what is wet inside the cabin. Once you have posted that information, we can then start suggesting where to look in order to find the source of the leak. The cowl has "udders" that drain water down into the bottom of the fenders. If those udders become clogged, water intrusion inside the cabin will become you reality.
