Fuse box is a blinding guess. Pretty much, almost definitely, without question it (or they) have got wet.
As I say, it could be either one at fault or maybe even both. I think the auxilliary one (on the passenger side is most likely though.
This could take some time to dry out naturally, especially at this time of year. The best plan could be to partly dismantle and get in there with a hair dryer (on a warm heat) to dry things out.
2 things... I presume you had a battery/fuse box cover fitted? If not, get one right away.
And... car washes are very bad news for a Scorpio. Not advised at all. Do it by hand.
