Panel going crazy

He Guys, I just bought a 2005 c230 komp. (4 door sport) in feb. I put it into storage till the snow cleared.(I'm in Ontario Canada) I have had it out a few times and love it. Any way I was in a hurry and took it through a car wash (touchless of course) any way when I came out the end my SRS light came on I was a little surprised with this I pulled the car over turned it off and dryed the excess water. Started the car no lights anymore. I drove the car for about an hour then all hell broke loose my SRS warning started going my ESP started going and my Coolant warning started going and the car started stalling I pulled over and sat there freaking out as this is only the third time I,ve driven the car. Start the car up no warnings at all go to move the car and bang everything starts going again. I limp home as i can drive the car a bit before every thing starts going again. This morning I go out start the car up just to see and no warnings no lights no messages. I was just wondering if anyone had insight into this problem.
Thanks
Erbage

Sounds like water entry into computer areas. start at the front fuse box. look under the carpets.

I agree with MB Doc. Car wash was last thing before problem, Car Wash = Water. Check the drain under hood next to windshield cowl.

I have to agree with you there, I'm going with Doc. The ground and wire comments did relate to the water getting to it. Hey Doc, I still have full warranty on this vehicle do you know if this should still be a warranty covered check at the dealer ship.
