Hi everyone, once again I need some help with my civic and I always found this forum the most helpful.
This may seem a little stupid of me, but yesterday after I work I decided to give my engine a wash... Car is a 2005 civic si 2 door coupe. I used grim remover and then a pressure washer, but I made sure to keep the hose as far away so it wouldn't be spraying with excessive pressure around hoses, connectors and sensors. Once done I proceeded to drying with a pneumatic air vac under high pressure also. After I cleaned the exterior and dried parts of the car with the same air vac, as well as some of the interior. I have done the exterior and interior of the car before with the air vac and never had any issues, but yesterday was the first time i washed the engine. Needless to say, my airbag light is now on, but it's not always on, as it will go off at random times and come back on, but there isn't a specific pattern of when it goes on and off. The abs and parking brake light on the other hand seem to only go on once I start moving, and then anytime I go below 30kph-20kph the lights will go off and stay off until I start moving. I also had my radio turn off 10-20 seconds later after I start my car, and then it wouldn't turn back on, or it would turn back on and then shut off again. The last time I drove my car the radio didn't go off at all though. So far i've checked almost all the sensors in the engine bay and there wasn't any water in any of the connectors, I also checked the fuses and they're all good. Today my DRL light also started coming on intermittently and going off. So where do I start looking from here?
PS: Yes it probably wasn't the greatest idea to power wash and air dry a 12 year old civic engine bay but please try to refrain from telling me you shouldn't have... and you are... etc
