Headlamp level error light
 
So it's finnaly raining here in VA again. I've searched post but no one addressed my specific problem. I get the headlamp aiming/level lamp on the dash but onlywhen it rains. What's the deal. I've check around the front suspension and nothing seems fishy. I just moved and really dont want to just spend money on a part I may not need. Has anyone else experienced this? My crabs approaching the 100k mark and it's like gremlin city WTF. I wish te rx8 had the better lamp system like the speed 6.

In two months now driver side power window regulator, radio display dead again, and now this. I really love this car but Mazda couldve done better in the reliability department. Oh and I sat on side of interstate do to vapor lock on the fuel system too :(

Hum I saw a thread about how to manually aim them. You might have some corrosion or grounding issues going on. Inspect the ground, clean battery terminals, inspect wires (look for damage at connections and along the wires).

Probably some corrosion going on in the headlight leveling sensor. You can try repairing it yourself... follow this DIY:
