My Ride: 02" Porsche Carrera 911
How much did it cost you? do you think when it dries it will fix itself? i'm gonna have to reconnect the battery and drive the car to the shop- i've been letting it dry for the last 12 hours..

Good chance you will fry what is inside if it is still wet in there when you put power to it. Of course it will then be too late to put in rice.

My Ride: 2004 525i
I have 2 525i's and the same thing happened to both my cars. I took the car to the dealership and of course they blamed it on the aftermarket lights, so I ended up paying 2k. The second time it happened to my other car I said "screw" the dealers. I replaced the module you took a picture of myself and it costs about $260.

i hope it's a simple and cheap fix.
