This will corrode the electronics.

However, it may take many years to do this.

Today's electronically dependent cars have design measures to avoid this, most designs over 20 years old do not - in my opinion.

Think twice before you let the devil in.
I definitely get road salt in the engine bay. Thankfully most stuff is aluminum in my car. I've considered making baffles to block spray.
