Cranks but won't start

My wife has a 2016 Countryman and left the sunroof open in a downpour. The car took quite a bit of water in the driver's and passenger's side floor. We lifted the carpets and have been getting it dried out. We also pulled the fuses and dried out the fuse panel. The car started twice but now will not start again. It cranks over and I can smell gas. All other electrics are fine. Any suggestions? TIA!

You might have drained the battery down. Did you try a charger? A jump start?

Next thought, you flooded the engine. Pedal to the floor , see https://www.cartalk.com/content/how-...ed-car-started

Tried that already, no luck. I'm going to change the plugs just in case it's flooded badly.

I believe the front passenger side (below the seat) houses electrical components and maybe fuses. If water got down there you may need to get that replaced/rewired.
