What to Do When a Car Stalls After Driving Through Flooded Roads?

[OMaddox]

Solutions for a car that has stalled after driving through flooded roads: 1. Tow the submerged car away from the water. Use a hard tow method to avoid engine damage caused by accidentally engaging gears; 2. After towing the submerged car away from the water, promptly conduct a thorough inspection of all electrical components that were submerged; 3. Drain and dry the vehicle, then use a multimeter to check for any short circuits in the wiring; 4. Only start the engine after confirming everything is normal. If there is a possibility that the engine has taken in water, perform a thorough drainage and lubrication process before attempting to start it; 5. Even after removing the car key, there is still a minimal current supply to the engine computer, anti-theft system, and other electrical components. Always disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to prevent short circuits in the car's electrical system due to water exposure.
