Of course this results in rain entering the car and getting into the steering column wiring.
Does this mean you have at last found the culprit/ It works now? The problem is gone?

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
