What are the consequences of water entering the dashboard?

[KiraDella]

The consequences of water entering the dashboard include reduced insulation of electronic circuits, damage to electronic components, decreased terminal insulation leading to short circuits and blown fuses, and even complete dashboard failure. Relevant information is as follows: 1. The function of car dashboard: To provide drivers with necessary operational parameter information. The car dashboard consists of various instruments, indicators, and especially warning lights and alarms for the driver. Depending on their working principles, car dashboards can be roughly categorized into three generations. 2. Introduction: Traditional speedometers are mechanical. A typical mechanical odometer is connected via a flexible shaft containing a steel cable, with the other end attached to a gear in the transmission. The rotation of the gear drives the steel cable, which in turn rotates a magnet inside the odometer housing. The housing is connected to the pointer, and a hairspring keeps the pointer at zero. The speed of the magnet's rotation affects the magnetic field strength, disrupting the balance and causing the pointer to move accordingly.
