WTF!! again!

Soo this morning I woke up to the same problem I had about 3 weeks ago but maybe 10x worst. I'm typing from my phone so please bare with me. I'll start from 3 weeks ago..so 3 weeks ago I went to start my car in the morning and I noticed that none of my light on the dash are working. Or outside of the car meaning the directional lights, head lights, fog light etc..so I imediately took it to the Acura dealer they replaced the control module and everything was working again..now this morning I went to turn on my car and this time it did the same thing but now the vsa light is on so is the abs light, tpms light and the vsa icon.I took it to the Acura dealer and they gave me a loaner now I'm just waiting to see what's wrong. Any help?

Soo while I was typing this I got a call from the Acura dealer, they said there's a leak In my fuse box. I was like WTF? How is that even possible? They said it could be because it's raining right now, but how would rain get in my fuse box? That's what there trying to figure out now.

^^^ perhaps the drivers side front sun roof drain is clogged. Run a rod down it or blow it out.

No I never had the windshield replaced..they called me this morning. They said that there's water corrosion in the fuse box meaning it's old water that's been sitting there for a while that's why I've been having all these electrical problems. But they told me that the technician can not find the leak. And they don't trust the techs they have in on Saturday's so there going to get back to it on Monday. I hate dealers. The only good news is that my warranty is covering it.

thats pretty shitty of a dealer to say they dont trust their saturday techs. its not like express lube techs are the ones looking at your car. in fact most dealers dont service cars like yours on saturdays. they're usually put on hold till the week.
my guess is your sunroof drain is clogged. was your car ever in a flood?

The only techs they have in on Saturday's are one that are qualified to do an oil change. There top techs work during the week..and no my car has never been in a flood..the day this happened tho it was raining.

I agree with eg5, Sounds like this could have been a prior flood vehicle. The sun roof drain could not be clogged but pulled out of the grommet and leaking on your box. have them check that!

So I just got my car back everything is fixed but here's what's going on. First it's not the fuse box in the engine bay its the one under the dash board on the driver side. They told me they still don't know where the leak is coming from so they gave me the number to this placed called water doctor. I called the place and the guy told me to drop the car back at the Acura dealer and he will send a tech there tomorrow so they can fix it there. Any idea how water is leaking on my fuse box under my dash?

The car fax is clean it's not a flood vehicle. I bought the car with 40,000 miles and it has 83,000 miles now..why would it wait 40,000 miles for this to happen? And it only happens when it rains..this never happened before and I had the car for 3 years
