Rear washer leak and electric gremlins

[olivermg]

Hey all, so used the rear washer yesterday first time in a while and heard the sound of it spraying. Found the really helpful thread here where to check and fixed that, no immediate issues.

Drive today and go to switch off, wouldn't fully switch off. Pressing the button seems to isolate HV as I couldn't select a gear, but the light stayed lit green and warned me to turn it off when I opened the door. Gave up attempting to go to the park much to sons protests and drove home where I'd planned to ring Mg assist. Got home and of course it turned off, on demand multiple times.

Anyway couple of small trips later and it seems to intermittently do it, found another thread about drying the terminal block near the steering wheel. Has anyone done this themselves? Has anyone had this covered under warranty?

Water (screen wash) in an electric circuit is something you want to address immediately, not wait weeks for a warranty repair appointment?!

I would also immediately put the auxiliary (12 V) battery on a charger of some sort. If the computers are not fully turning off, that's about 6 A of drain, which will quickly drain then ruin the auxiliary battery.
