If memory serves me correctly there is a main loom running across the floor under the seats and an earth point under the passenger seat, you will need to lift your carpets and have a good dry out

The main loom is under passenger side floor, and I am sure the body control unit is there too! Just where your passengers feet would be!
Carpet needs lifting as previous post suggested..

Also you need to find out where the leak is coming from and cure that to stop it happening again...
