Remove it

It lives under the driver side windscreen scuttle.

Ignore it, and you may find your car reduced to ash, the batterys leak, and catch fire!

Dont delay :y

If you are concerned about how to do it, you have Darth Loo-knee in Kidsgrove. He's an ugly pig, but knows his way around an Omega :y

Rain aka water Ingres
More likely to be the rechargable batteries have failed, and spewed their guts all over the PCB...

Simple job ..... just unplug it & remove from the car.
