This is what it sounds like to me as well. That's where I'd start. Unplug this connector dry out well and dialectric grease.

Never EVER pressure wash a bike.

Another reason why I don't like the TBW (along with the "lag")

I can't help with your problem, sorry. BUT using any kind of a pressure washer is a bad idea. Check your manual. I hope you get it fixed. Good luck.
