Man I hate electrical gremlins

I had some radio and turn signal issues which after a quick search turned up a few references to an IceLink issue. I have an IceLink so I went to work.

What I found was about 4" of water in the rear drivers side well submersing about 3" of the DSP amp and my IceLink wires. We had about 8" of rain and 70+ Mph winds last week and my rig was parked out in the elements.

Now the fun part...Tracking down a leak. I'm guessing the tail light assembly because they are known to leak. After that is the rear hatch and then possible the roof rails.

Any other possibilities? I doubt it is the side rear window.

leak in amp compartment

Did you ever locate the source of your leak? I have the same problem... the leak shorted out my amp. I can't see any signs of were it came in at and would realy hate to replace the amp and have it happen again!
