dont agree with spraying your motor with water, electrical issues are by far the biggest pain in the *** and most expensive to find. hopefully everything will dry in a few days and get ride of the problems, but dont spray your motor anymore just just some kind of cleaner.

Hate to tell you this, but I washed my engine bay once and fried the computer.

Symptoms: Strange dash lights and no start.

You might get lucky and have all go back to normal after it dries out.
