I went to visit my parents and I borrowed my father's Honda minivan. As I was adjusting the seat and mirrors, I noticed the moon roof was open, which it turns out my Dad had left it open from earlier in the day when he got back from golfing. And there had been a quick downpour between then and when I got in. Now the signal lights do not work, and neither do the power door locks. I opened the passenger and driver's side fuse boxes, and the corresponding fuses seem to be intact, but I noticed when i opened the box on the driver's side there were a few water droplets.... could it be water damage, and if so, is it easily repaired or is the dealership going to ding my father with a huge labor bill?

Carefully wipe down the waterspots, make sure you don't get electrocuted. Then give everything some time to dry. I had the same problem with my Caprice once. The door locks started working again after everything was dried out. If you end up having to take it to the dealer to have it fixed, your dad is sure to get reemed.

Best bet is the dealer, most dealers will warranty electrical even though its water damaged. But they may only warranty it the one time. Just ask them, be nice about it and don't loose your cool. Just remember if you loose you cool, all they have to say is "warranty does not cover water damage". And you'll be out of luck. Good luck.

The car is under warranty. Just give it some time to dry out and see if you have any problems left over. If you do, then have them fixed under warranty. good luck.
