First off 3 posts are not needed!
Electrical componets can get wet, BUT should be dried before before powering. You may of burned up some componets due to it still was wet when you tried to use it. As now you have a error. If possible to save it disconnect the battery and dry the car out use a hair dryer and blow hot air you need All of the moisture out. Reconnect the battery if it doesn't work you need more help then I can give you.
