After a torrential downpour, somewhere in the passenger side, water came in behind the kick panel in the front footwell. I believe my smart junction box got wet because the radio won't turn off when I open the doors even with the key out. I pulled the cowl, and there is no debris or even water, or clogged drains. Anyone have an idea how much it is to replace the SJB? And where else would I look for the leak?

My 2012 came fresh from the factory with the same leak except on the driver side. It turned out to be the windshield seal or lack thereof.

i think may be the air filter must have started leaking. or may be the fuel tank has some issue.

I hope you're trolling, because there's no way it could even be any way related to either of those parts.

Possible your blinker fluid reservoir cracked?

That seems to happen quite regularly to old folks. They change lanes and their blinker stays on for miles.
