So the ECU got wet, everything stopped working, after it dried out, everything works again except.  The front boot will not open, the remote door locks and trunk stopped working.  Cannot open the boot at all.

 

So is the ECU done, or can this be fixed?

Welcome to RennTech :welcomeani:

If your DME (what you refer to as an ECU) actually got wet, most of the car would have been under water, so I would not be surprised things aren't working.

 

I assume you are referring to the box under the seat, which is the alarm/immobilizer unit.  If that is the case, remove the unit and rinse it out with isopropyl alcohol , which you can get at any grocery or pharmacy.  Remove the small fuse on the unit and make sure it did not blow when it got wet.  Use a hair dryer to dry out the unit, reassemble and you should be good to go.
