Left my sunroof open last night and it poured. My airbag light is on, abs light is on, service 4x4 is on, the dash keeps coming on and then will shut off. Like all the gauges. There’s water in the center console cover. I can’t play music on my radio any more. I just financed this and have 5 years left on the loan. I’m not sure what to do. Pretty sure it is ruined.

Let it dry out and then start going through stuff.

Might also check with your insurance guy. Depending on your policy, it might be covered.

Well I’ve been driving it and it is driving fine so far, but I only did that to take it and clean it out at local car wash vaccum area. I will park it now

May have some interior pieces to replace because of the way they dry or swell or get moldy. If you can rig a fan from each side to blow from both open doors, that may help.
don’t have fans and such. all I can really do is leave all the door open.

Only issue I am having now is when I plug my phone into the center console usb to play music, it says connecting and then just goes back to radio, only issue I am having. The music would cut out for a split second and then come back, but that stopped too. There was water in the aux jack but it seems dry now.

All I can do for now. I opened up the panels I could in the interior to dry it further. Currently leaving sunroof open as well. Would take seats out if i knew how
