Cause

Some customers may comment on any, or a
combination of, the following conditions:
• Evidence of a water leak at the right side A-pillar
and/or the right front floor is wet under the carpet.
• Various electrical concerns such as: Engine
Continues to Run with Key Off/Possible No Crank/
No Start/Communication Loss/Various Electrical
Concerns, which may be a result of a water leak
on the IP BEC.
• Other electrical related conditions that may be
communication issues between certain electrical
modules due to water dripping on the IP BEC.

Note: If this condition appears suddenly, it might be
related to a windshield replacement where the sealing
of the glass to the body might be the cause of this
concern.
•

Water from the right front sunroof drain hose exits the
vehicle through the plenum (upper arrow) and may
re-enter through the un-sealed seam at the front of the
dash. Refer to lower arrow in the illustration.
In more current models years, sunroof drain hose and
windshield related issues have sometimes been found
to be a source of a water leak in the A-pillar area. This
water can also sometimes leak on the IP BEC and/or
onto the floor area.

Correction

1. Remove the windshield wipers and cowl screen
where sealing repair is to be done.
Important: Inspect the IP BEC for wetness and/or any
green colored corrosion.
Important: During water testing, do not point the
nozzle/hose upward on the cowl area as this is likely to
force water entry where a leak may not even be
existent.
2. In order to verify the waterleak, run a small amount
of water into the square hole inside the cowl while
looking at the IP BEC.
3. Allow the water to dry and proceed to step 4.

For Model Years 2007-2008
Important: Inspect the front drain hoses to ensure that
they are free of clogs or kinks, and that water is
properly flowing through the hoses.

service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions, and know-how to do a
job properly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your
vehicle will have that condition. See your GM dealer for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the
