Windsheild seal

I'm going to check this out tomorrow and see if I might be able to confirm evidence of this occurring.
I just purchased an 04 that had the same problem... was a faulty seal on the windsheild. I got the car super cheap but unfortunatly it has serious electrical issues.... presumed to be from water pouring over the all the electrical and fuse box behind the dash.

I have just about all the dash lights on, no power steering and car seems to be in limp mode... not throwing any codes.. and is in a limp mode. Any one else run into problems after this leak?? Im not really sure what to do. Perasidic draw seems to be normal 0.035a was hoping that would point me in a direction.

Can the ecm be replaced without a dealer?
