mmm a quick fix would be to spray Q20 - or any good electrical cleaner into all your electrical points it helps keep moisture off - moisture kills sparky stuff :).
if it continues after - u will need to take her to a BM guy near u to have a quick look over, but most of the time Moisture is the biggie.

Did u use a high pressure sprayer in the engine bay? be careful next time with those....try to only spray on hard engine surfaces, even the radiator fins get damaged with the high pressure, just a warning to other guys also.
