1994 Mitsubishi Montero

My son used a water hose to wash down the interior of the Montero.

Viper alarm went into screaming mode and went on and off intermittently. This morning seems to be okay.

Hour after the watering inside, engine would not start. That was 24 hours ago and we are waiting for it to dry.

Based on where water might have gone inside, what could have been adversley affected?
