Default Won’t Start after getting Wet?

Does anyone else’s 07 not start when it gets wet/rains?
It’s rained heavily yesterday and my car wouldn’t start after. Happened 2 weeks ago as well when I went through a car wash. I was told it was the battery a first(Changed it) then was told it was the Starter (Changed as well) but it’s back to not starting. Lights come on but it won’t start up.

Rain and car wash shouldn’t create a problem. Who did the work? Maybe the battery clamps or wires are bad. I’m going to guess that mechanic may be the issue. Does it act normal the day after rain or wash? Has a OBD2 code reader been hooked up to find any codes? Does it crank but not start or is everything non responsive?

Before it died yesterday i drove it to the store and it was kind of jumpy and was acting like it didn't want to accelerate. I just scanned it for codes; I have P0335,P0340,P0345,P0365 & P0390

Um, is the passenger side floormat wet? I had an issue where all the crud under the front cowl would allow water to stream into my blower motor assembly and soak my cabin air filter. Lucky for me I figured out the issue before any damage was done, but yeah maybe pull your cabin air filter and see if that's wet or not. It should be dry.

Those are crankshaft and camshaft sensor codes, did you have a look at the wiring harnesses for any damage? What do you hear when you push the start button?

Are these current codes (cel on) or stored in history?
