Weather-dependent recurrence should be reported with timing and exposure, not simply as an identical permanent failure. The repair may need comparison with a condition that was absent during verification.
Keep a weather-linked record
Note whether the fault begins during rain, after parking or after washing. Include damp areas and previous leak repairs. Do not spray electrical components or deliberately flood the vehicle to obtain proof.
The workshop should review the original diagnosis and relevant moisture paths. A module repaired on the bench may still be exposed to a vehicle-side problem. Preserve the new scan and contact the repairer before more parts are changed, allowing the next assessment to build on the existing evidence.
