So with the rain im getting today I notice i have a leak pouring down passed my hood release and around the FRM......

I looked at the connection on the FRM and there is signs of corrosion - im sure this is causing my lighting issues......Can this be cleaned?

What process should i start now?

You can use electronic cleaner spray can. while the module is out, take a look at the circuit board.

finally the FWM is actually called FRM.

**Edited** - Thanks

I will give that a shot - hopefully works as I hear they're quite expensive

The good news is they are somewhat plug and play. you can buy a used one with similar part number and it will work fine.

to take it a step further, you will need WinKfp and NCS expert to code the VIN and program the options into the "new" used module
