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.
I've been told that leaving a bowl of uncooked white rice in the car for several days with the windows closed may absorb the excess moisture. Maybe buy desiccant. Or, you could run an extension cord out and leave a dehumidifier running in the vehicle. Perhaps, leave the windows down for a few sunny days. Maybe a blow dryer, not too close, might help dry some tight spots?

If fuse sparks for radio when removed and when installed can I assume there’s a short?

Also wondering how to get the Musty smell out the car. Smells like dirt or something. And dust. Car is dry and I have two damprid containers currently and some air fresheners.

Radio light issue persists
