I have a strange situation. Whenever I wash my car, I always get a check front foglamps warning on the check panel... Also, even when dry and the error is not present, the right foglamp comes on a second or two after the left. I opened both foglights up immediatly after a wash and both had sparking clean contacts and were dry. There is no water in the cabin, so I don't think the LKM is getting wet.

Any ideas what could be going on?

Thanks

As where to look? Thinking about it, would a wiring issue (water getting into a wire) cause the lighting delay as well? I wouldn't think so, unless the controller has something to do with it?

Thanks for the reply

Everything is clean and dry. Bulb bases, spade connectors, wires, etc.
