Condensation in the Exterior Front
Lamps and Rear Lamps
Exterior front lamps and rear lamps have
vents to accommodate normal changes

Condensation can be a natural by-product

normal condensation occurs, a fine mist
can form on the interior of the lens. The
fine mist eventually clears and exits

causes the battery to run out of charge.
