Something I have seen repeatedly on various SoCal vehicles is the phenomenon
of electrical gremlins showing up in anything more than a slight drizzle.
Better-informed folks should perhaps chime in here, but I'm wondering if you
got some errant moisture into your old, dried up wiring harness. If it turns
out that it's not an actual mechanical issue, you might have some electrical
system maintenance in your future.

Cya,
Robert
