Have you check for corrosion on your ground points?

Do you have a crack in the lower part of your windshield that is leaking water on something electronic? Happened in my 90 Accord EX-R when the TCU would get wet and Id have to manually shift an auto to get around.

When rain water leaks into the car it gets humid, suggest you fix that leak.

Sorry to reply to a bumped old thread, but you don't seal it. That brings in fresh air inside the car.

Just bend up the metal tabs so water doesn't leak down into the motor blower.
