Default Having Car troubles

I live in New Orleans. Yesterday, we got some flash flooding. During my 45 mile commute back home, I encountered several areas of standing water, nothing too deep. Anyway, when I was almost home, my abs light, brake light, vdc off light, slip light came on not to mention my speed-o-meter went to 0 mph along with my RPM to 0 while still running. I figure it was maybe something that needed to dry out but am still having same problem. The engine is running normally, just having what seems to be some kind of electrical problem. Anyone have any input?

I'd start by checking all the fuse boxes for any water intrusion.

Same exact thing happend to me in Houston after going through some minor flood water/heavy rain. It went away after a couple of hours. It hasnt happend since then. I would recommend giving it a day and seeing if things start working again.

I am having this exact problem right now. It rained pretty good this morning but the ride home in the afternoon was fine and it wasn't until I got in the car at about 8pm that this problem started. Same thing, all the idiot lights are on, speedometer and tachometer to 0. My battery reads over 14 volts while running and the headlights don't dim so I don't think it's the alternator. Where are the fuses that I should check?
