Hello from the Fens with a Giant water issue

[Flat in the Fens]

Hi thank you for letting me join.
I have a Giant Explore E+2 hybrid, I have covered 1400 miles since November last year. In heavy rain or after washing I find that water gets in to the pull apart connector from the handlebar switch.
Which then switches itself on and won't switch off again, unless the battery is removed.
I have tried heat shrink tube over the join which didn't work, it actually made it worse . Has anyone tried anything else to stop the water getting in?

Welcome! Nice looking ride. Mine came in blue accents but I like the red. It looks faster!

Sorry to hear about your water issues. It's a known problem with Giant controllers. A few members here have had theirs replaced under warranty. I would recommend taking yours to your dealer for a claim. And perhaps carry a sandwich bag or two and some rubber bands in the mean time?
