I hate wiring

After a week or three of heavy rain here, and leaving my windows open once(aaagh) I got in my truck this morning and fired her up. Started right away...but my dash was lit up like a friggin xmas tree,my windows, backup lights, and the radio didn't work. So I drive to work and nervously shut her down. wait..wait..she fired right back up and everything is back to "normal". WTF?

moisture will make things go nuts because it conducts electricity.hopefully it didnt do much damage but dont be surprised if you start to have issues.
