if control switch got wet,just let it dry out,that is about all you can do unless you go to a salvage yard and get another switch out of one.

Once the switches corrode you will keep blowing fuses until you either remove the corrosion or replace the switch. If you caught it early enough you may be able to clean it up with dielectric grease ( a must have for working on car electrical systems).
