Please let me explain what I was thinking: The first thing I suggested was to look over anything WYT R1CE had changed, to be sure that everything was done correctly. Then, secondarily, I suggest looking at grounds. A ground is an essential part of a circuit. The ground is a return path for the electrons in a circuit to get back to the negative battery terminal. What happens if the ground is not properly working? Those wild and wacky electrons will simply take the next easiest path, which can absolutely include other circuits.
About my pointless story: I was merely attempting to share a whimsical anecdote about an experience that I had with odd occurrences in my car's electrical systems. Obviously, considering the confusion my story has created I should have taken care to articulate better that indeed it was an unrelated incident, and that no, I don't really think that my wipers took out my headlights. I was just trying to be funny about it. Currently, my best guess is that the hole my tire burned in the wiring harness that runs under the left front fender has something do with it. Hence my thinking that water had do to with the symptoms showing up while driving in the rain thanks to a few exposed wires. I assure you that changing the lightbulb was the first thing I tried, and when that same lightbulb worked just fine in the other and normally functioning headlight I knew that the bulb was not the issue. Please forgive me for failing to make that statement more clear in regards to the problem at hand: WYT R1CE's electrical gremlins.
I make no claims of having a great understanding of electronics. I do however have a reasonable grasp on the very basics. If I am wrong, that is just fine with me. I would like to learn and not carry false information with me! However, I think there is a better way to tell another person that you think they are wrong other than "thats stupid".
