Default Problem with ford first

Hello all my wife's fiesta ended up in the sea when she got stuck in the sand tide came in and flooded the car. Managed to get it out and it started then died. However about 2 weeks later after drying it out all the electrics went haywire now have nothing on dash working.
things that work still are
horn, interior lamp, hazards lights but not clicking , central locking, side lights when central locking is clicked. Other than that things are dead.
I have checked all fuses and relays I have even changed ecu key transponder and clocks still nothing. But as soon as I feed the ignition switch with a live every thing lights up and works just won't turn over atal any help would be great I have checked every earth also

Fords used to have a issue where a solid link in the fuse box burnt out, if its been submerged, it may be worth looking inside the fuse box, or at least get ya tester in there and have a look.
