Gauges on dash wont work

hey folks, i recently traded my 93 integra for a lifted 97 grand cherokee laredo
well i took it off road the other night and got a little wet, now i have checked all my fuses under hood and dash and clean all my relay's out, im not getting anything on my cluster none of my gauges will work(it does light up when i turn my headlights on), my windows wont roll down, and fog lights wont come on,

clean and dry out the connectors at the pcm, and check the wires in the driver's door boot.

On my '96 ZJ with the 4.0, the PCM is attached to the firewall, behind the coolant recovery tank.

How wet did things get? What is the story behind your off-road adventure?

well we were out driving the trails and were we cross the river i went into a hole, the front of my jeep was nose under, about neck deep. had water up to my shifter inside. i got pulled out and then i was pulled home, we pulled the plugs and turned the motor over to blow out the water and changed all the fluids, it started right up, ive been driving it for 2 days now,

i have used a wet vac for 2 days sucking up the water out of the floor boards, i also inspected all fuses and pulled all my relays out, opened them all up and clean them all out.

here is a pic of my rear floor boards when i got home.

I'm not 100% sure, but since you've got a '97 you should have OBD II. Maybe try and pull any codes. It might help you to track stuff down.
