Before you drop a new battery in, pull the drivers seat and remove the immobilizer. Open the case, remove the board inside, and get it bone dry before you put it back in the car. You also need to get that carpet around where it sits dry. This could take days, or longer if it's been sitting with water in it. I guess if you can get the carpet dry to the touch (like with a shop vac) you could seal up the immobilizer (AFTER its dry) in a plastic bag for now.

You may have already fried your immobilizer, but there's a chance you haven't, and because of the cost to replace or repair it, you should make every effort to ensure you don't do more damage to it. If it is damaged, contact forum member Qmulus to see if he can repair it for you. Alternately, there's ECU Doctors in FL.

SO, don't apply power until you are sure the immobilizer and everything around it is totally, 100%, swear on your mother, dry.

Cancun - you might be able to tow it there (check with ferry).
