If you’re lucky, when it dries out completely, everything will work normally. > [@Brylee](#): > > anyone know how he can fix it without costing him anything? Why would it cost him anything, you did it? ---

That steering wheel might have to be removed and if someone has no idea what they are doing the airbag could cause severe injury . You need a shop . ---

A hair dryer should speed up the drying process and do no harm - considering how hot the interior of a car gets in the summer. ---

I would dry out the steering wheel switches with compressed air. You probably do not have an air compressor so try using your vacuum cleaner with the smallest hose attachment to draw the water from the switches and radio. ---
