Water intrusion, gauges are dead!

[tojan19]

Well with the crazy rain this week, I had a water leak into the explorer, I had water drip out the overhead light assembly and a spot of wet headliner by the passenger visor bracket. I think part of the intrusion problem was the brackets for the vent deflector on the roof was interrupting the seal for the sun roof.

Well today I was out driving. At first, if I touched the info button, the gauges would die. Then it was fine. Then it was dead. No gauges, no info center. Every once in a while the gauges will bump up a little. So where do I start?

Technically I don't know where to start, but I would let it dry out as much as possible before I touched anything. Once it dries out the gauges might work ok. Maybe check the fuses at some point.
