I had a weird electrical issue while driving today in the snow. Vehicle started fine with remote start but I noticed the low beams didn't work. I did not have time to trouble shoot but I have aux lights that can double as headlights so I used those. About 15 minutes into driving the radio...

Huge raining here in Maryland lately. I should have avoided a monster puddle with the 100LC when I saw it, but nope, made my own tsunami and now I'm gonna pay. I depress the brake pedal and the right signal light on the dash lights up. I turn the left signal on and the 4 ways now come on...
