Sudden Electrical Problem, Help Please.

I'm not new to forums and I always find it "funny" when a noob drops in with no hello and a sudden problem..... Like me.... But this is for my dad..

Hello!

my fathers 2000 S500 seems to have had an Electrical "stroke" in the front passenger cockpit. It began raining and my brother went out to close the windows. He used the Keyless window remote to close the window. The window closed fine, however, now nothing in that vicinity works. The door actuator to pull the door shut, the power seats, and windows no longer work.

We checked all the fuses we could find and all seems to be in order. Are we missing something? Is there a relay we could check? A wire harness connection? any advice could be helpful! thank you!

given the rain, its a possiblity that you managed to get water into the car resulting in a bad SAM. check the carpet on the passenger side.
