Did it rain overnight where you are or did you go through a car wash?

On your year water leaks through the corner of the windshield and drips into the GEM mounted to the back of the fuse box under the dash. This causes all sorts of electrical issues.

Of course there is.

1. Fix the leak.
2. Repair any damage caused by the leak.

The only correct way is for the windshield to come out and be resealed. Talk to a local auto glass company about it.
