Hi scd,
Unfortunately, you've experienced a well-known problem.
It would be best to remove "the box" (actually contains an ecu), open it up and make sure that it is thoroughly dried inside. Then close the box, seal it thoroughly, seal the connectors and refit.
In future, avoid spraying water around in the engine bay as much as possible.
Your "heads up" was a thoughtful gesture,
