How to Deal with the Battery Light On After Driving Through Water

[WalterLynn]

This light is the battery charging indicator. It may illuminate briefly when driving through water due to the generator getting wet and causing a temporary short circuit that stops it from generating electricity. Once the water dries, it should be fine, so you can continue using the vehicle without worry. When a fault light comes on, the car's computer will record a fault code. A technician should inspect the vehicle to determine its condition. Check whether the engine oil has been contaminated with water. If the vehicle stalls abnormally while driving through water, do not attempt to restart it. Instead, call the 4S dealership or your insurance company immediately.
