How long have you had your truck? Does your IDM have the same looking sticker on it as in Dave's picture? I wonder if you have a replacement IDM from somewhere?

Water on the circuit board is bad. I'd use more than tape to cover the hole. The tape may come loose.

I would find something to lay in the bottom of the insert (small disc) and fill it with silicone, the smear some more around the top of the insert.

When you removed your IDM, did you pull it from the fenderwell or from inside the passenger compartment?
