So my re-sealing up of the rear light cluster from 12 months ago has failed, and flooded the light unit again with about 2 inches of water corroding the bulb holder, and the 4 pin connector.
I've taken it apart, dried it out, and ordered new bulb holder, connector and indicator bulb.
My question is though, before I noticed the light was flooded, my battery was flat when I wanted to use the car 2 weeks ago, charged it up, then the car would only just about start after it's 7 hour charge. It was then flat again a week later, recharged it, and the same thing happened.
Is/was the corroded light connector/holder shorting the battery out and flattening it? I can't remember if it did or not from the last time the light flooded. I've got it on charge again with the light unit removed so will see what the battery looks like later.
