The first thing I recommend with any water damage situation is to open the product up and make sure you don't have corrosion building up inside. You may need to clean it with isopropyl alcohol.

Follow these water troubleshooting directions.

The power to your vibrator is obviously still working, so it may be a quiet switch that is broken. I don't have experience with this particular phone, but perhaps check the software settings and see if you can manually trigger the vibrator.

If you share more information with us we can help you narrow the problem down further!

As Kyle said with the water damage use Isopropyl Alcohol to clean the corrosion. You may then want to replace the battery of the phone. With it vibrating when turning on it's most likely to be your LCD and digitizer that have gone try replacing your screen.
