So today after work, I came home and plugged in my battery to see if the car was still acting up. Everything was back to normal the door pins were working again, no more clicking in the fuse box and the car turned on no problem. So I'm 100% it's water getting in the fuse box. Because it's been sitting in the sun for 2 days so the fuse box dried up. Now what do I tell the dealer tomorrow when I show up with a totally normal car.

I've owned a VW once in my lifetime. Probably the best buisness to be in is the VW parts buisness. These cars are junk and horribly built.

20 bucks that 6 months later we see on myg37 boards about water issues and constant services at the dealer.

Threads like this make me think why my insurance is double more than the opposite sex

So just heard back from the dealer. They are putting a new fuse box in and they're working hard in finding the leak. In the mean time I'm
Driving 4th gen tl . So if they do find the leak, I might be staying with my car. If they can't find it, it just means I'm Going to have the issue again so I'll trade it in. Options are 08 g37-s or a 08 Acura tl.

IDK I am more of a Sedan Guy since I have a lil girl now, I would say 08 TL-S!!!. But Hey I cant knock the G37-S but Never sedan it has to be a Coupe. That car is a Beast and maybe you could learn to Drift it LMAO. I would hate to see you leave tho, That TL is gonna miss those Reggaeton Pistas ha ha
