    I had the top down and a rain storm came through. Ever since my head light are on with out the switch. Same with the wipers. Also none of my dash or interior light work. It starts and runs just no speedo, no tach, or turn signals. Could this be a relay issue or do I just have to wait until it drys out?

    If it were mine, id first get it inside, disconnect the negatice lead on the battery and get it dry. Maybe even use a hair dryer under the dash to speed up the process.

    Sounds like something shorted out, you don't want to risk further damage.

    Ok so when I disconnect the battery, everything starts working. But only for a little bit. Then it starts acting up again. If anyone has any ideas, I need help.
