if you plan on taking your kia in some major creeks or mud move the computer out of the passenger floor and up on dash. I had to learn the hard way.

sorry to hear that man!

Mine is still in the stock location, but i no longer have any carpet in the truck.

you may want to check your door seals, and possibly the floor or firewall for holes.

i have been in water and mud holes that were up to my hood and have never had any water come inside. YET!

They do dry out well over a friends demister outlets...

Another problem can be the airbag computer (still haven't got mine fixed from 5yrs ago, wanting $1500 for a new one.).
