SES Light, Water Leakage, Headlight motor buzzing?
That pretty much sums up the problem. I'd been experiencing a water leaking into the passenger side (drips down the carpet right under the glove box, and pools on floorboard), but only when I've been running my A/C. Just last night, I turn my car off, and right after, my headlights will flip back up, but not turn on, then flip down, and there's this awful buzzing coming from near the driver's side headlight. I'm taking it into the shop today, but does anyone have a clue what sort of problems that I'm experiencing? Thanks guys

The buzzing is a stripped gear in the headlight motor. I once had the same problem when my gear was stripped, for some reason when the gear was stripped it must have thrown off the electronics from the motors prolonged running becuase when I would hit the lock on the keyless it would lift the headlights up and down. After fixing the gear it stopped. A temporary and more permanent fix to the headlight motor can be found at http://www.bfranker.badz28.com/headlightfix/
As for the A/C leaking in the car I have no clue

The AC produces water that needs to drain outside the car - just like your home AC does, just part of the process of cooling. The drain isn't under pressure, just drips out - it's very hard to find though, need to get under the car to find it. Just probe the drain gently with something similar to a pipe cleaner and when cleared will drain whatever water is still in the box. I've had to clean small leaves out of my blower box before, don't know how they manage to get in there. Don't have a pic of the LS1 drain, but here's what it looks like on a LT1: http://shbox.com/1/a_c_drain.jpg
