Will the car starter dry out by itself after getting wet?

The starter will dry out after getting wet. However, the engine may be affected. Generally, water from car washing doesn't cause major issues. After running the engine a few times and when it heats up, the water will evaporate. Here is additional information: 1. Precautions when water enters: If you accidentally drive through deep water, you should immediately turn off the engine. If the engine stalls in water, never attempt to restart it. This is because water entering the cylinders lacks lubricating properties, and restarting the engine can cause severe wear to components like pistons and cylinder walls, potentially leading to complete engine failure in serious cases. 2. Correct procedure: Push the vehicle out of the deep water area to ensure the engine intake won't ingest more water. Park in a safe location or directly call for a tow truck to have it transported to a repair shop for servicing.
