"The carpet was dried": why that does not fix the wiring
Subtitles: voice-over text.
The wet carpet was dried, but a window regulator does not work and the battery goes flat overnight. Salt water creeps up the harness to the connectors.
In short
- Connector corrosion causes battery drain and all-wheel drive faults.
- A dry carpet does not mean dry contacts.
- Ask for photos of the connectors before you bid.
The example component is from a Nissan Rogue (connectors under the driver's side panel). On other models the locations differ.

The lot description says: wet carpet, dried. A minor thing? But a window regulator does not work, and the battery goes flat overnight. Under the driver's side panel there is a connection between two harnesses. Salt water from the floor creeps up the harness to the contacts. Corrosion causes battery drain, all-wheel drive faults, and sometimes smoke. A dry carpet does not fix this. Ask for photos of the connectors before you bid. Vinwind.com.
