Anyone who's done any engine work on B5 2.8 or 2.7TT is laughing. In

I have to ask, how and why would rain or (snow, my case) affect this spring

It might be caused by warming ambient temperatures and increasing humidity
causing changes in the contacts that may also have corroded a bit over the
winter when they were not used much.
Or it might just be the time that it came due.
Should be a fairly easy fix. Try spraying the contacts with an electrical
cleaner / protectant like CRC or DeOxit.
