I wonder if the trunk condensation isn't fuel leaking out of pin-holes in the top of the tank.

Light problem: check the ground wire on that side, and its connection back to the chassis.

If it doesn't see rain, it probably doesn't get out in the fog, dew, etc., which means it's probably not condensation. The water has to come from somewhere.Could be water seeping through the deck seal when you wash the car. In that case, yes a new seal would fix it. Nothing else there IMO.

Did you check the ground wire for the front turn signal. Possibly clean the area and and screw and try it again. Other than that, no idea. Good Luck, Top

If your trunk liner is made of a non-breathable material, moisture can build up under it. Just a high humidity environment can do this, and just because the "fog" isn't in your garage, doesn't mean that the relative humidity of your garage air is any lower than that outside.

If it was gas, I'm guessing that you could smell that.
