Assuming the water ran down the firewall and avoided the dash and pedal wiring, the only thing I can think of that would get wet is the wiring/connectors to the seat (seatbelt switch, weight sensor, heater, positioning motors). Some water could have wicked up to the center console wiring.
Unless you have something to ionize (eg, salt) in the water, it's not likely to short out 12VDC wiring once things have dried out. But it can happen and modern, computer-controlled cars seem to be more prone to moisture-related problems than older cars. Subsequent corrosion would be my biggest concern.
