What to Do When Water Enters the Car's Central Control and Causes Malfunctions?
2 Answers
It's not a big deal if water enters the car's central control panel. Here are specific methods to handle water ingress in the car's central control panel: 1. Dry it: If water enters the car's interior, it's essential to go to a shop to dry it promptly. Otherwise, it can lead to dampness and mold, especially in enclosed spaces with air conditioning, which are most prone to bacterial growth. 2. Cabin: Its structure is directly related to the driver's safety, work efficiency, and health. The cabin generally adopts a thin-shell metal structure and is flexibly connected to the frame, not bearing loads, which belongs to a non-load-bearing body. Modern cabins also emphasize reducing air resistance, focusing on aesthetic design, and using panoramic curved glass.
If water gets into your car's center console, act immediately. Last time my car's sunroof wasn't closed properly, and after a heavy rain, the screen was completely blurred. The first thing to do is to turn off the engine and cut the power, either by removing the key or shutting off the main power switch. Use a dry towel to soak up surface water, but don't press any buttons! Use a vacuum cleaner to suck out moisture from the air vents inside, then toss in a few packets of food desiccants to absorb humidity. If the phone charging port also gets wet, unplug all data cables immediately. Wait two days before turning the power back on. If the screen still shows water marks or buttons malfunction, tow the car directly to the dealership to dismantle and dry the center console. Don't delay—corrosion on the circuit board could cost you half the price of a new console to repair.
