I went through a deep mud pit yesterday and ever since I have been having electrical issues. At first, the windows, sunroof, environmental controls and 4wd would all cut off at the same time, then start working again. It would do this from time to time and all would either work or not work. Also, the battery indicator started to go on and off on the way home too, not flickering but just randomly turn on and off. Now today she won't start at all, it doesn't even try. When I turn the key to the "on" position, the dash lights up but no windows, or anything and when I turn the key... nothing. Anyone know what could be causing this?

*edit*
I went out to try and start her up, and it seems that the battery is dead now. So it would appear that whatever problem I am having is draining the battery too.
 






check your relays in the relay module... sounds like there is seating issue or worse.
