Default Help this idiot out

Last night my wife was driving her dodge journey and came home because the rain was getting to bad for her to drive in.
She was a block away from the house when the water reached her door so she killed the journey and got out and ran home.
After about 45 mins I was able to push the vehicle out of the water into dry land but now my problem is that the vehicle won't start back up and it's the keyless remote start vehicle.
My question is does anyone know what I can do because I have been told let it sit and maybe it will dry out but I've have it out of water for bout 12 hours now and it's still not starting up
Help help help

Moving to the correct section. Does it turn over? It could have shorted the battery and fried the electrical system. If get it checked by the dealer.

It doesn't turn over and I don't know if all keyless remote cars do it or not but it just clicks over the radio and lights and everything work the engine just won't fire up and start it doesn't even act like it's turning over though and I'm not sure if all keyless cars do it or not
