Washed by Dakar yesterday and then parked it back in the garage.

This morning the battery was dead, dead, dead.

So I jump-started it and went on my way.

Once stopped again, I noticed that the headlight is not turning off when switching the ignition off and removing the key.

I fiddled a bit and found that switching the ignition to lock and then back to on, off back to lock a couple of times and it will switch off eventually.

If I turn the engine obn and off again, the problom repeats and can be resolved in the same way again.

I suspect that this has something to do with yesterday's wash and some electric circuit getting wet. Could it be something like a fuse?

Should I just go straught to BMW with the problem?

Thanks in advance.
