[Juan]

Can a flood-damaged car still be driven after repair? The treatment methods are: 1. Clean up the water and mud inside the car, and wash and disinfect the vehicle; 2. Repair or replace the motor, audio, air conditioning control panel, electronic components, and wiring harness. Methods to check if a car has been flooded include: 1. Sit in the driver's seat and smell for any musty odor; 2. Check for water stains under the seats; 3. Look for mold stains or mud traces at the top of the seat belts; 4. Remove the dashboard and check for mud in the plastic connectors of the wires underneath; 5. Turn on the headlights to see if they appear yellow; 6. Check for mud in the engine compartment; 7. Inspect the trunk tools and spare tire rim for any rust marks.
