 Hello , what it is , i have a scorpio 1997 Ghia , and recently ive noticed everytime i go through a carwash , around 20 mins after leaving the carwash , my full beams turn on automatically ?? , If i switch the ignition off , they are still on  The car has a battery cover , and as far as i can see the drainage holes near both fuseboxes are ok , is water getting in from somewhere ? The covers behind the headlamps are in place and seem to be dry inside when taken off .... cant understand ... any help would be appreciated , thanks .. i definately know its a water problem as if i dont wash the car in ages its ok , but as soon as i wash it , the electricals play up.

I had a water problem with mine when i first had it, alarm sounding, all lights on dash lit up etc, It was a broken lug on the main fusebox allowing water to enter from behind the box, To look at it you would not know, I only noticed this when removing the top from the fusebox.

No, the actual top that you put on to cover the fuses.

The fuse box in question would be the drivers side box, there should be a rubber seal around the lip of the box that the cover seats on. The cover,being a bit of a sod to locate correctly could be badly seated.
