Go to the parts store and get a compressed air nozzel. Explain to the guy there you want to blow the moisture out of the switches on your door because the rain got it. He will show you what to get.

Go to a gas station with free compressed air with a vice grip and a friend. While friend holds a kink in the air take the fitting off and install your nozzle. Blow air at full blast on the switches for a few minutes. You might see water come out. Or not. Put the air chuck back on when youre done.

I have a feeling though water in the switches would blow the fuse. Maybe not...
