This leak shorts out the fuse panel causing the loss in power in various equipment including the windshield wipers. This short has also caused the instrument panel to fail causing the computer to…

    Original windshield seal began leaking water inside cab and into dash compartment resulting in electrical failure. The leak originated in the driver side valley on top of the cab of the truck. The valleys allow water to flow directly to and pool up at the windshield when vehicle is parked. I remedied this by caulking the area to prevent further water damage. *nm
