Whether it's wires wet with rain or coolant, I usually douse the area w/ WD40, or some other type of moisture displacer. Usually works.

Had 2 Peugs cut out on the highway in driving rain. Doused the wires under the hood with whatever oil spray I had in the trunk at the time, and I was able to restart and drive away in both cases.

Of course, your new trouble could be unrelated to your old trouble.
