Default 97 land rover anti theft issue i think???weird problem...need some help please

Ok I have a 97 discovery and it will not start. Here is what happened I was playing around with it going through some kinda large puddles and stuff nothing too big, but i made it through but did stall out once but it cranked right back up, drove few miles home no big deal. was running fine then 2 hours later i go to crank it and i notice when i unlock the door the lights dont flash like they normally do and the alarm does not seem to be arming/disarming itself, well...when i go to crank it it just makes a weird clicking noise kinda like a relay that not working right under the dash on the passenger side and if i hold down the key it will turn over the engine like it is trying to crank up but it seems like it is not geting spark i think. I was wondering if anyone has any idea what could cause this since it ran fine all the way to the house but now wont start im kinda lost on this. any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had issues with the (10as ecu) little green security module in my 96 disco located in the passenger foot well.

from what I have read, they say a good bit of stomping can get it going again, but I (eventually) had to open it up and clean-up a bunch of green corrosion to get it to start working.

and then once I had it working, central-locking would work, and it would get spark. Also, if you upset it enough, it seems to go into "I don't like you" mode and you need to wait 5 minutes before it will let you do anything.
