Drove 200 miles down to San Diego County today and made it back to base, only to notice water in my front blinker. No faults or water intrusion sensors tripped yet, but I doubt that’ll last. Of course, my Lucid just rolled past the 50K-mile warranty, so this repair is likely on me.

Honestly, I wish Lucid would publish service manuals—even under NDA—so owners could better understand and troubleshoot issues. A quick search didn’t turn up much on the forums about this, so I figured I’d share. Has anyone else dealt with this? And if so, was it an expensive fix? I’m sure @Denali_Dane could fix it—after all, he’s an aircraft engineer!

Hope someone has some info to help with my rainy day surprise...

All I need is Tech data. $$$$
But I am expensive still.
My hourly rate for contractor aviation maintenance is $130 an hour. Since these vehicles are called "Air" that falls under my aviation standards. So yep I am expensive.
 
I'd have to double check the repair quote but I had to have mine replaced as part of collision damage and I seem to recall it was $300-$400 for a new part but I'd have to check...

That was about the same cash quote I received from Lucid, turns out it was covered under warranty tho, since no collision damage.
