Problems after car wash

For the third time, my 2004 S 430 has issues upon completed car wash cycle. Twice, car has gone into limp mode upon driving away from car wash. This time, limp mode developed I pulled over and shut off vehicle only to not be able to restart. Appears that something is acquiring to much moisture. Is there a gasket that should be replaced or missing?

first if you have comprehensive coverage on your auto insurance make a claim , because it could get costly and if you try to fix it yourself and it doesn't work they may need to total the car

usually it's the underbody sprayers that wet the transmission connector

stop taking your car to automated wash - hand wash places only !!
