you can take the radio and hvac and switches out and thw airbag and dry them with the hair dryer and then let them sit out in the sun on some tin foil or even just cement they will get plenty dry.

the trim piece around the radio is clipped on that comes off and then you have access to the screws to remove the separate pieces, I would take the ground off the battery while it dries out and you can remove the airbag and use a hair dryer to dry out that and the clockspring and other components
if you do not have a hair dryer they are cheap at the store, easy enough to just grab one
Is needed if everything is working so far? What if I just let it keep air drying.

you might have to reset the clock, you don't really loose anything otherwise, the obd stuff will self test and reset on there own.
Idle will be good? Not worried about it being a bit high at first. Just wanna make sure it relearns. I didn’t have to relearn when I cleaned my throttle body. Which I think you actually assisted me with on here

Should I worry about dash instrument panel? It was acting up but stopped now. Only did it the one time.

Good thing about older vehicles. I once drove a top less /door less FJ-40 landcruiser, even in winter snow. Parked outside.. would be full of snow. Rain too. Never an issue!

Woke up to everything working so far! Thanks for tips everyone. Was scared bc electronics were being weird. But every thing went back to normal it seems. Just fighting the musty smell and damp leather.
