Water in the electrics?

Just wondering if there's a known issue on late model 322s where water can get into the electrics somewhere and cause issues? I've noticed before that if I've been a while on the motorway in deluge type rain I get a "Radar not working Cruise shutting down" message. I've also had a couple of weird things - eg central info screen not starting up, but rest of the car working, and other faults reported out of the blue. Today's was a sequence of 5 or 6 messages incl "gearbox fault" while I was idling in a car park. The resolution is to reboot. Literally turn the car off and on again...and everything is fine. Only ever happens when its properly wet stair-rods rain with lots of standing water or the cars been stood a while in the rain. Didn't get it on the old FFRRs but have a few times now with the new one. Just mine? Mike - MPx

battery?

the FF has more computers than that tin can that landed on the moon so a low battery causes a cascade effect on the ecu's....i would test the battery and maybe replace if suspect...

Good thought thanks Stan. Seems odd that it would coincidentally only ever occur during heavy rain but maybe that is just a coincidence. Mike - MPx

When its raining though you’ve probably got lights on, heater blower running and wipers causing a massive drain on whats more than likely a weak battery.
As Stan says these vehicles have numerous ECU all wanting the ultimate amount of voltage to keep everything running. When that doesn’t happen all manner of faults get thrown up.
