The difficulty is to know which...
And the PITA job to unplug & plug back all of them for there is very little room for my paws! I know that: I changed the four of them recently and I needed more than an hour to do the trick. From left to right when you're driving, the first one on the left (by that little window in the arch) and the third one on the right (bottle of steering liquid and A/C metal pipe) are awful. When I've a glance I can't do anything and when I introduce my big sausages I cannot see anything any longer! Unless I take off the bumper... but no time to spare if I do it and I already did it previously 2 or 3 times...
Hence I'll stand still, crossing fingers & the like that the gremlin is gone for ever as it did the two last days of our trip.
BTW I'm thinking that I might have been very close to you while going through western France from home to Brittany & back...
