Grab a non-contact voltage tester for quick sanity checks. I thought they were a gimmick until mine saved me from cutting into a live wall. Now it's the first thing out of my bag.

Wait, a 2015 Civic? That's barely even broken in (well, except for the rust, I guess). That's the part that gets me, like @valcampbell said, some cars just find trouble. It's crazy how fast that filler failed on you, but your uncle had it right. Rust never sleeps, it just keeps eating from behind the filler. I'd check the usual online parts places for patch panels, but for a car that new you might have to get creative with a donor car section.

Saw a whole article about people doing this. They were using portable power banks you can charge at home.
