[QUOTE="MacGuyver, post: 431959, member: 18877"] To give you some insight into the comment about the clock spring. It is the part that allows you to turn your steering wheel and have the buttons still work. For some reason they are very touchy when it comes to water, a thing that is only made obvious on Wranglers. I would follow the advice above about getting the vehicle dried out, If you decide to remove the front of the steering wheel to dry it out, 100% disconnect the battery. You are playing with the airbag at that point, it would suck, be very dangerous, and be expensive to have that go off in your face. Don't go too far in though. There are things that are aligned in a certain way, just remove the pad. The radio will probably be fine, but my guess would be that the clock spring is a a loss. Dry out the vehicle, maybe you got lucky. It will take awhile. [/QUOTE]
