P2138 Throttle/Pedal Pos Sensor/Switch D / E Voltage Correlation

Is there anything under the seat or near the kick panel that got wet? I haven't worked on too many Saturns, but it seems like something is shorting out for the TPS. Check to see if the computer is under the seat or along the kick panel.
