For general interest- and as suggested by Sandroad- we couldn't find a leak that affected the various fuse boxes or modules that I checked. The fuses were bone dry, but the fuse box on the module in the driver's footwell had clearly experienced corrosion at some point- the fuses themselves were...

So… I got a bit delayed by a ski accident and a broken vertebra. Now back in the hunt! I’ve found my problem, but not the source of it- the fuse boxes in both the driver and passenger footwells have extensive corrosion from, I assume, condensation or water I guess. I’m still trying to find...
