..and the saga continues (rain+fuses)

Sounds to me like your fusebox got wet.

I had a lot of relay clicking and even visible blue arcing when my
windshield seal went and let the fusebox fill up with rainwater (this was
3 or 4 years ago). Get that checked out before it frys your ECU like it
did mine.

As others said, it's definitely 15 amps, not 150 amps.
