Can a Flood-Damaged Car Be Used After Replacing All the Wiring?
1 Answers
A flood-damaged car can still be used after replacing all the wiring. Key points for restoring a flood-damaged vehicle are as follows: 1. Exterior Cleaning: After towing the vehicle away from the flooded area, start with cleaning the exterior, including the inner sides of the front and rear bumpers, left and right side mirrors and their internal motors, and removable mirror lenses should be disassembled and cleaned. 2. Interior Cleaning: After initial cleaning, remove and clean the seats, electrical components (computers, audio systems, relays, instrument panels), door panels, headliners, interior panels, light assemblies, door waterproof liners, sunroof assemblies, etc. 3. Engine Compartment Cleaning: Remove and clean the engine hood insulation panel, disconnect the battery, open the timing belt cover to clean the interior to prevent poor crankshaft angle 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 electrical connector must be cleaned thoroughly.
