Massive offroader... defeated by carwash!

Well, I finished my banking and hiked back - took about an hour. Might have been a bit nicer had it not been 35 degrees + quite windy.
I left it facing the sun with the hood up - engine was really quite dry - so I'm guessing the crank sensor was indeed the culprit. I went back to the car, cranked her over and she fired right up as though it was perfect. No check engine light, no nothing.
Here's what she looked like!

So we got another snowstorm up here, decided to take the Rover in. Crossing over from CT into MA on a back road, I hit the unplowed area of mass with a splash... and out she went again. It wasn't that big of a splash, it was maybe 6" of wet snow.
Got it towed back home and took another vehicle to work.
So, assuming this is the crank sensor - What should I do? Replace it or clean connections and dielectric grease the plug connectors? or both? Do these have a tendancy to dry and crack or anything?
