Can a car still be used after all the wiring is replaced following water submersion? The key points for restoring a water-damaged vehicle are as follows: Exterior cleaning: After the vehicle is towed away from the submerged area, the exterior should be cleaned first, including the inner sides of the front and rear bumpers, the left and right side mirrors and their internal motors, and detachable mirror lenses should be removed and cleaned. Interior cleaning: After preliminary cleaning, remove and clean the seats, electrical components (computers, audio systems, relays, instrument panels), door panels, headliners, interior panels, light assemblies, door waterproof seals, sunroof assemblies, etc. Engine compartment cleaning: Remove and clean the engine cover insulation panel, detach the battery, open the timing belt cover to clean the interior thoroughly to prevent poor crankshaft position sensor response. Clean the generator interior with high-pressure water, and thoroughly clean the radiator and cooling fins to prevent overheating and poor cooling. Every wire connector must be cleaned thoroughly. The hidden dangers of water-damaged vehicles include electronic system failures, engine malfunctions, automatic transmission damage, and mold growth in the interior.
