That's a weird one. That could be a real pr*ck to fix.
Why is there an exposed circuit board in the first place?? Do they not think that vehicles may be driven in rain, snow, humid environments?!!? wish.com of manufacturers I tell ya......
Apparently GM has a issue with the new Hummer EV in the rain.
Are all these vehicles "designed" to be driven in California?!!?!?
Seems like it - Toyota is having a similar with their RAV4 hybrid and PHEV RWD motor

Seems like its getting hot out there:
"Ford is telling owners of some of its most popular, current, internal combustion powered SUVs to park their vehicles outside after a series of engine fires that happened even when the ignition switches were off.
Back in May, Ford recalled nearly 40,000 Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator SUVs after telling owners to park them outdoors and away from homes and other buildings. On Friday, the company expanded that recall to cover more than 66,000 vehicles from the 2021 model year after getting reports of five more fires — and that’s not even the half of it. The company also announced Friday that it’s recalling yet another 100,000 SUVs in the US alone for. A. Different. Problem. That also causes engine fires."
"For their part, Ford said Friday that it has traced the cause of this latest issue to printed circuit boards that are susceptible to an electrical short, and that it has reports of 21 fires (note: that’s a lot more than the Bolt!) and one injury, but no reports of fires extending to buildings. Ford dealers have been instructed to check the box for melting damage and replace it if needed, and also remove or repair a cooling fan ground wire that connects to the junction box. Ford expects parts to be available by early September (!?), so SUV owners will have a few months, yet, of parking outside to look forward to."
