If you really want to try saving the electronics, flush everything with 
lots of distilled water, hit them with some more distilled water, and 
then leave them to dry. "Non-distilled" water can and will leave 
conductive residue on things when it evaporates.

Worse case is you short a couple things out -- hook up a battery and stand by with the fire extenguisher! Doesn't sound like there's much to lose if something shorts. I seriously doubt anything would catch fire -- insulation might melt off a wire but fuses or circuit breakers would blow first, and you can cut power quick enough. You can always unplug the steering column and radio before powering up since you want to try saving those, just to be safe.
