Default 2007 gs350

Hello, my 2007 GS350 was a victim of the recent Houston floods. Water didn't get too high (up to seat level). Car only has 35k miles. I'm able to start the engine and runs but power steering doesn't work. Trying to understand what could be the problem. P/S light is On. Possibly the ECU is damaged and needs to be replaced. MPX-B fuse is okay. Also, the trunk opener and side mirrors don't work. Hope somebody can give me some ideas to speed up repair. Don't want to take to dealer. Thanks in advance.

I think most folks would advise you to get rid of the car after a flood due to ongoing electric gremlins that keep cropping up like you're are seeing here, some over time.

That and essentially sewage water running through the entire bottom portion of the car. Not only that but mold growth in unreachable places. I dont think I could ever live with that notion for my own health.

I went to Houston earlier this year a few weeks after the flooding and saw a few of these flooded cars on flatbeds, with condensation on the inside of the windows. I shudder to think of the smell...
