Electronics are not happy when they are wet. Maybe drying the car out will return things to normal but if they do not you will have expensive repairs.

When a vehicle like this starts having electrical problems it's a neverending rabbit hole! Especially when everything inside the dash has gotten wet! In my opinion it's not worth fixing! Junk it and move on! Hope that helps! Jim
