Electrical plugs on the outside of the interior of the car have weather pack seals. Meaning that floods and rain water will not penetrate the seal. Pressure washers will, 2000+ PSI. Electrical in side the car have none, not even for the computers. Biggest reason insurance totals out cars for flood. Very labor intensive to go threw the interior electrical flooded car. Plus it always come back.
The major problem with flooded or water immersed cars is the electronics and electric components
water short circuits all the systems as the battery is still connected
besides that when an engine is under water, the silt in the water gets to every where even behind the rings, into bearings, oil passages--everywhere
for your problem replace the starter relay and starter motor but your waste of money will not end there
Insurance would have covered the replacement / loss of the car and it is recorded as water immersed in the insurance data base so it is now ******* to resell it unless you tell the buyer that it is water damaged
Best idea is to wreck it for what ever spares you can or simply junk it
Spray the cylinders with a good quality penetrating oil such as PB Blaster and let sit over night, spray again and let sit over night again. On the third day put a breaker bar and socket on the crank bolt and work back and forth and pray it comes loose.
