I have pressure washed under the hood and luckily have had no problems, ever. Though I am very cognizant of the electronics, etc. and never wash the engine area with the engine running.

My guess is you found a loose connector or chaffed wire and that wire or connector is sitting in a pool of water or corrosion. If you have compressed air, try blowing out any water left behind in areas that may harbor both water and wires. WD40 is good too, 'cuz that's what it means - WD = Water Displacement, formula #40.

My wife dropped a brand new cordless phone in the toilet while cleaning up after my poor aims rendering the phone totally useless. I said I'll take it back to the store if you have the receipt, but none could be found. Oh, by the way, the toilet was clean when this happened. Anyway, I took the battery out of the phone and let it set for two months or so, refusing to buy another new 2.4gHz phone. We then moved to our new home and for *****s and giggles (pun intended) I plugged in the battery and the phone worked. Even the memory and stored phone numbers came back. I was surprised.

So, it is likely your electronics will eventually dry out, unless something went bad while it was running. But hey, I could be wrong. I am curious to know what the outcome is.
