Water in the MG ZS fusebox makes wipers work at night?

[Lambiek V]

Has anyone has the experience that the wipers will start wiping at night when its raining while the car is just parked ( not started) at home ?
The manual states it should only work when the car is started.

But mine seems to do some extra work during a rainy night....

No, I have not seen this. But my phone keeps connecting to the Bluetooth in the house when the car is parked, off and locked. I have to turn off the BT on the phone. So it appears that there are some elements of the car that remain powered up when the car is off

Saw something similar on YouTube re wipers. Turned out to be the fuse box being damp. Worth a check!

Sorry, can't find it again. TBH I have watched what feels like hundred of Youtube videos re the ZS EV which makes it difficult to find anything specific. I'll have another search about.

This chap has a number of issues. Mostly electrical but corrosion also.

What colour is your car, I have read about a few issues with the white models

Hi all, Given I've seen a few posts about water getting into the fuse box, is there any fix for this to ensure that others don't suffer the same fate? Just curious how it's gaining entry.
