Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I had a leak in my top on my 2000 box S and the floor got soaked, now, c3 fuse cant be jumped to open the hood, nor will the windows work (same fuse i think) I got into the hood and charged the battery, NOTHING wont turn over but all the dash lights will go on as well as the radio. key fob will also not work, im guessing its in some sort of a security mode? what can I do? Thanks
Sounds like the control box under the seat may have gotten wet. Lots of warnings about this situation in the manual and in this forum. If it has shorted out, you are toast. Drying it out may work, but others have said that once it gets wet, you will have to replace it and I think that the keys will have to be reprogrammed if I remember correctly. Lots of threads about this on the forum, do a search.
ok I took out the box under the seat, the fuse was blown, replaced it, dryed the unit out, the window moved ONCE and not all the way when I opened the door, now back to the same. what the hell can it be? she wont start or the windows. everything else works fine
Also im seeing in most threads that the CLU box will only make the doors not lock and the door chimes go dead, no post seems to say that the car wont start, can it even do that?
The control module (ECU) under the seat not only controls the widows & key entry function but also the engine imobiliser. If it has a fault (damaged by water ingress), then it defaults to stopping the engine being started. The ECU is not a cheap replacement either....
so the ecu and the clu are the same thing? or are there 2 boxes?
basically other then locking/trunks/starting everything on my car works, the fuse was blow on my m535 box and it was very wet, i think this m535 box is the immoblizer box? can that box prevent the car from starting? or even turning over?
