2009 fixes

What are the modules/relays on the floor of a 2009? I have a chance to get a nice one that just needs to have some modules near/on the floor replaced. Anyone know what they are and how much they will cost? The seller told me it was a security module and this is why the engine doesn't turnover. Any help would be great.

Its not one I have, its one I might get. I called and the guy I talked to said that there were some modules/relays that got wet. He said the engine cranks but doesn't turn over and that it is because of the security module/relays had gotten wet. Thats all I know without driving an hour and a half to go check it out.
If I remember correctly it cranks or it might start but then immediately shuts right off.
I tried searching online for the security module but didn't have any luck. The guy told me its only gonna be a few hundred to fix it though. Just thought I would pick some brains here first to see what you guys say.

i am restoring a low flooded R3. fresh water that didnt reach the seats.
No modules on the floor, but the connectors under the seats can get corroded (for the sbs and seat belts). Thats the closess things to the floor I can think off.
On any flooded car --it has to be carefully gone through.
If it flooded over the console I wouldnt touch it, unless you really want a project/or just a track car. Most of the electrical stuff is at dash level--except a few things in the doors.
Good thing about a rotory engine is that flooding never usually causes any internal problems.

Where did you get the R3 from? Did you just pick it up in the last month or so?

The red one at east coast auto source? What was actually wrong with it, I couldn't get my girlfriend to let me get it. It seemed like a great deal.

If it's got water damage, pass. Water can do so much bad **** to a car.
