    Has it got a sunroof? If so, that's where the water would have come from. They are notorious for blocked water drains, which conveniently overflow into the bottoms of the A-pillars, and subsequently all over the carpet.

    Jmac is spot-on about the water ingress into the transmission ECU, as it's under the carpet in front of the driver's seat. I've replaced a fried one once before, along with numerous repairs to the wiring in that area.

    My apologies mate, Gold Coast, around the Mermaid area.

    And the car has no sunroof.

    Once again, my apologies Jmac, really appreciate the help.
