So we had a quick burst of rain the other day and my Signals is now showing -49.2 and slowing going up and down. Before it was showing all LLL. This is only on port 2. The rest were not being used and work correctly.
Do I just hope and pray this with dry up and go back normal?
It’s only 4 months old but I plan to call TW tomorrow to see what they suggest as well.
 
Get some heat and air moving around it. If it’s off warranty or no luck with the manufacturer try a electrical contact cleaner, spray it in the probe ports and allow to evaporate. On the label it will state that the product is good for displacing moisture. WD-40 will also work but I find the residue will attract dirt and dust which in your application is a bad thing.

Maybe put the unit in a ziploc full of rice for a couple days. I've done it with cellphones with success

Good idea. While doing this, keep it in a warm place - like on top of a heating pad. Not hot, just warm as that will speed up evaporation.
 
It just started working but I went ahead and put it in a vacuum container with a fresh recharged desiccant pack and I’ll leave it there for a couple days just to make sure it gets dried out good.

great suggestions everyone! Thanks!!!
