Default Connectors under drivers seat?????

Yesterday we had a great deal of rain, my car was operating fine I did however have some water come in on the drivers side. After the car sat all day I went to start it and got several messages Reduced Engine Power, Service ABS and Traction Control System, Low Voltage and Service Engine Soon and now it wont start or even turn over at all. I have researched and have found out it could be a bad BCM, but I also heard there are connections under the drivers seat that could have caused this problem as well, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Is the interior DRY now? If a new battery was dead in 10 minutes, SOMETHING is getting HOT.

Disconnect battery, open doors and get a fan blowing on the interior.

Why? There is no magic bullet here, dry stuff out, get a freshly charged battery in and PRAY (if your in that kind of stuff). This could be a huge issue if the water got high enough inside.

Febreeze/Fan/Damp Rid/Shop Vac get them in the car and get rid of the moisture and prevent the smell that is on its way

You have to dry-out the interior. Get a shop vac. and put about 4 canisters of Damp-Rid in that interior overnight. Also leave the doors open during the day unless it's raining.

The only connector under the drivers seat is the power seat controls.

Although you said the water was on the driver's side, any water getting into the BCM ( body control module) in the footwell of the passenger side will give you similar type problems.
