Things that jump to my mind:

1) Clutch pedal switch or Neutral Safety Switch
2) Ignition Switch
3) starter or starter solinoid
4) A wire knocked loose by the water/hose
I agree with all of those.

I have not seen it often (well never) but I guess water (in theory) could short things well enough to get the fuse to blow.

Do you have any power in the car lights bell ?

An old fashioned solution might be to give the starter solinoid a 3 good whacks with the back of a screwdriver hard as would hurt your knuckles if you hit them.
