If even the slightest bit damp, disconnect battery, must be fully dry before cable goes back on.
Mop up water around it, use a hair dryer (never a heat gun) to start the process, once warmed up, leave a fan blowing on it for a few hours, recheck / repeat as nec.
May already be fubar'd but only chance is to dry it off, they fix the source of your leak.
Super common problem, shame on Ford for no campaign to make things right (not that any of the other mfg's are any better).

Exactly it thanks . When I unplugged a few harnesses and hit it with a hair dryer could see water dancing in there . What a design , little rain trough above the module directs water right into a harness which also showed signs of corrosion , hit the harness with contact cleaner and dried it up , I put some slug ( hvac putty) on the top side of harness just in case .
Pulled the cowl off and checked the drain thing and it was spotless no shiat in it , so now question is where da fk did the water get in ...? Glad no Christmas lights on the dash though . Thanks again

12.99 with it running? Not nearly enough, should be 13.6-14.6.

Source of the leak?
If you dodged a bullet this time, find n fix the leak before it bites you hard.
At the very least, wrap dat bitch to keep the water out.
