Yup, check the TIPM to make sure it didn't get wet. It's the black box directly in front of the battery. Pull the lid off and you should see a bunch of fuses and relays. The lid is sealed(sort of), but for some reason Chrysler put drain holes in the bottom.

If your electrical connections get wet it can cause the vehicle to not want to do anything.

The connections are water tight but sometimes water still gets in. water is a conductor and can cause grounding issues which will make the simplest electrical items not function.

Pretty much.

Sometimes just letting it sit for a while will do the trick. Since your on the trail you kinda need to check whatever you can and dry it off to accelerate they process.

Clicks one time. Lights go dim. And nothing happens.
