CAMARO'S REAR COMPARTMENT FUSE BOX IS UNDER THE MAT IN THE TRUNK. SOMEHOW THE WATER GOES INSIDE THE TRUNK, WHICH IS EXPECTED BECAUSE THE TRUNK IS FOR STORAGE OR TRANSFER G THE GROCERY. SHORT CKT HAPPENS BECAUSE OF THAT. MOREOVER, THE TRUNK DOOR GETS OPEN WHILE DRIVING AND GETTING SMOKE AND GETTING 100% OF CHANCE OF FIRE IF I DON'T TAKE A NECESSARY STEP. I THINK IT IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND VERY DANGEROUS FOR ANOTHER DRIVER TOO BECAUSE THE LOCATION OF THAT MODULE IS AT THE WRONG PLACE.
