Firstly can I say I have spent hours and hours reading threads regarding water leaks on ml350 2010,s and have not solved my problem. I do not have a sun roof.
After some very heavy rain a couple of days ago I had some electrical problems which I assume are water related . There is water in my battery box so I assume the SAM has water in it. All carpets are bone dry on top, underneath close to battery box faint traces of water. When I drove the car I could hear water sloshing in the back of the car.
I have stripped out the boot and there is definitely some water in the tyre well, but for the first time I lifted the 2 white covers identified with the red circles in the photo and they were full of water.
Does any one know how water can get in this cavity and could this be getting to the battery compartment.
1 I have checked the from windscreen drains and they pass water through to outside
2 I have replaced rear light seals
3 I have removed rear bumper and sealed air inlets and metal seams
4 I have test 3rd light seems ok
5 I have checked cab air filters and they are dry
Regards Jeremy
