United-States Just Washed?

I had the same trouble with my '03 S just before I sold it. Had taken it to the detailers, they washed it but somehow water got into something & caused the hatch door release wiring to malfunction. Nothing worked: not the handle switch, not the lock control toggle, nothing. Once it had a chance to dry out, it worked fine for many weeks.

Just before the new owner picked it up I'd washed it again myself & the same thing happened.
