Default Wierd starting problem

I've got a 2000 F150 , every time I wash my truck and park it and turn it off, my driving lights stay on. But today after washing it , I parked it turned it off and now the alarm keeps chirping and the truck is trying to start. I disconnected the battery to stop it , when I hook up the battery I hear a weird sound coming from this big black box( there is a lot of wires going to this box) that's behind and to the right of the battery.Does anyone have any idea what's going on.I know something is getting wet , but i just don't know what is getting wet to cause this to happen. I'm new to the site and wish I could just join and enjoy the site and not ask for help right from the get go.
