2000 CLK 320
CLK 320 problem

The sunroof and windows of my 2000 CLK 320 were left open and it rained for about 10 minutes. When I tried to start the car, the check engine light came on and it wouldn't start, but I managed to get the windows and sunroof to close. The dash and center console were soaked, but the seats and floor were dry. Any ideas? I'm afraid the ECM is fried, which I heard can be a costly fix.

P.S I know this is the C63 section, but I posted here because there is 180 people here as opposed to very few in the CLK class section...

Water damage is a tricky and really crappy thing to have happen. Any electronics will behave unpredicatably as a result. Need to take it to a dealer...

You can hang a few damp rid packs in the car for several days, it might help prevent mold, mildew and help dry out some other areas.
