Is There a Problem If a Car's Alternator Gets Wet?

[McCody]

If a car's alternator gets wet but is not in operation, there is generally no issue. Below is relevant information about car alternators: Internal Drying is Sufficient: A car alternator operates at low voltage and will not cause electrical breakdown. Once internally dried, it can be used normally. The alternator serves as the primary power source for a vehicle, functioning to supply electricity to all electrical devices (except the starter) while simultaneously charging the battery when the engine is running normally. Driving Tips: Check Mirrors: Always use turn signals and reduce speed when turning or changing lanes. Before turning, check the rearview mirrors—left turns require checking the left mirror, right turns the right mirror, and both require checking the interior rearview mirror. Avoid Fixating on the Front: On open roads, keep your gaze level and focus about 100 meters ahead instead of staring directly in front of the vehicle. Clutch Usage: When decelerating above 40 km/h, avoid pressing the clutch initially; only depress it when speed drops to around 20 km/h. Steering: Turn the wheel slowly for high-speed maneuvers and quickly for low-speed turns.
