the solenoid, but that didn't work...now not even a click...checked fuses
under dash, they were ok....is there a fuse somewhere else that may have
blown.....thanks

It's possible, but not likely. The first thing you need to do is check your
battery's condition and state of charge. Then you can check your wiring for
proper connections.

If you get too much water around your engine the best thing you can do is to
get it started and run it till it's good and hot. Preferably for a hour or
so.
