Question Coffe Spilt in center consul 2000 e430

My wife spilt a cup of coffee in the center consul of our 2000 e 430 4matic.. None of the windows the trunk or the mirror switches work.. I have pulled the one piece that contains all the switches out.. I looked for a fuse that controlled all of these functions with no luck.. I priced the switch online and found it for $375.. Any body got any help for this.. $375 is real expensive for a cup of coffee.
Thanks

coffee...

At least you didn't ruin your transmission module, that can run 800 dollars... so it's all relative. I hope she enjoyed her coffee....

Tranny shift switch and selector module is $150.00 plus shipping with 6 mos warranty from Potomac auto in Florida. Oh lord is right on getting to him first before going any further. switches can be had from Potomac also.

no damage to trans module.. My wife says the cup only had a little bit when she spilt it.. The switch module was taken out yesterday blown out with compressed air and left in a green house window to dry in the sun.. Plugged it in today and it is working.. Any other suggestions on what to do to the switches?
