new water leak discovery 200 1983

Hi all,

My latest H20 leak seems to be coming from the wiring harness that passes through the passenger door into the cabin of the car. I fixed one big leak and realized that a small trickle of water was still getting in. I sat in the car so that I could hear/see the "PLUNK" of water as the drops hit the plastic container I set on the floor.

The water drops onto the floor from the wiring harness located behind the glove box. There are 2 sets of wires, one with a blue plastic connectors, and one with a white connector. The white connector has an orange sleeve over it. The water actually drops off that sleeve onto the floor.

Following the path of the wiring harnesses, I realized that it is the harness that passes through the door via the black accordian-like thing that you can see when you have the passenger door open.

Since it's raining now and I can't isolate the entry point, I'm gonna wait for a dry day and see exactly where the water is originating from.

I can't believe this one - it doesn't sound like any leak that's been described here before.

I felt all around above it to see if the water was dropping onto the orange sleeve from say, the windshield, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

It's a really awkward area, I just hope that it's not a total pain to fix. Since it's so wet now, I can't tell if the water gets into the cabin from the door side or the cabin-side of the black flexy accordian thing that houses the wires.

If you have/had a similar leak, I'm curious to hear how you cured it.

Thanks for reading,

Susan.
