DSC circuit. Battery drain-after water in car

Hi everyone. Hope alls good under the hood. Followed another owners advice to ask some advice on here. So here goes....

I have a 3.0 e85 from 2003. I stupidly left it out in a rain shower and i now have a parasitic drain on the battery (is the main issue) . Ive isolated the circuit with the draw. Its the DSC circuit.

Just wondering how i can replace any problem components? Where is the wiring for these circuits in the vehicle? Any lead would be most apprecated, as im currently removing the fuse every time i park the car :-/

Other problems that could be a clue since the rain shower are,

1. The roof now only opens/closes if i press the button at the exact same time as starting the motor. (not the end of the world but started happening too)

2. The radio unit works intermittently. Volume intermittently and CD changer recognition gone.

3. Internal left and right indicator lights stopped working on dashboard. (fine outside though)

After youve understandably had a good laugh would be great to hear your thoughts. Big Thanks in advance.

Welcome aboard George.
This sounds very similar to a few recent issues with a component failing on the k-bus circuit. Basically, if one module has an issue it can upset a lot of other stuff on that same 'ring main'.
You really need to get a good quality code reader on it first to identify the issue.
Then you're likely to be looking at one of the three airbag module connectors or the yaw sensor under the drivers seat at a guess.
Get the codes and let us know.
Where are you? Maybe someone can help?
