1 Answers
If a minivan stalls while crossing a waterlogged area and fails to restart, immediately stop attempting to start it and contact emergency services. Below are key points regarding minivans stalling in water: 1. Towing Precautions: Use rigid towing methods to prevent engine damage caused by accidental gear engagement. After towing the water-submerged vehicle out, thoroughly inspect all water-affected electrical components. 2. Inspection Procedures: Drain and dry the vehicle, then use a multimeter to check for circuit shorts. Only attempt to start the engine if all systems test normal. If the engine may have ingested water, complete drainage and lubrication procedures must be performed before attempting to restart.
