If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

Get the hose pipe to it.
Do NOT, NEVER EVER use a home jetwash, as the flowrate is so low, they are always on needle jet, and this forces water past the seals in the wiring connectors and bearings, then a few days later you are in trouble.

I know all about not pressure washing.
I used to use 'Gunk' spray and rinse it off. Just wondered how other people get theirs all shiny new.

It is a Dire Warning in the owner's handbook of most motorcycles
I just get the hosepipe on spray and wet any mud, leave it a while then wash it off. If I'm feeling rich, a spray with muc-off then a nice brushing and a rinse puts everything back to clean newness.
