Default 96 zj headlights shortout in the rain

Hello all,
Something odd happen to me and my zj. While helping a lady with her stalled car i left my door open in very heavy rain. Less then 3 seconds. A second and a half tops.
a few hours later after sunset i was driving flipped on my headlights and they were fine.
Then as the dash lights quit. As usually a slight tap on the dash under the headlight switch and they come back on.

but yesterday the headlights never came back on so i pulled over and cycled the headlight switch still nothing. I shut the headlight switch off and taped on the dash under the headlight switch. Nothing.
so i have no dash lights no headlights. I do have running lights and when i turn on the headlights the running lights flash. Slower then the hazards.
Has anyone else had a similar problem? Going to start on it after work in a few hours.
any help would be appreciated.
