I have a Hyundai Coupe one with twin head lights an its a x reg

leave it to dry out

 

[LiDL]

yeah, it sounds like you got something wet that you shouldnt have, did you open your bonnet and um, jetwash it or anything?

 

[bruiser]

no it was just a quick bucket an sponge job an i have just bin round too it after leaving it to dry out like ^^ suggested an just jump started an went str8 away

 

[LiDL]

seems very odd that it would have any issues with a small amount of water.

 

[bruiser]

tell me about it lol well i managed to get it going again so i will just run it an see
just wait till the morning an see what happens then :?

Agree you shouldnt have many issue with a simple bucket and water job, if it happens next time it may be worth having a look under the bonnet when asap after washing and having a look to see if there are any runs of water near the electrics.. If you do suspect an area, the time after, put some foil round the exposed electrics and then see if it still happens. Might have to work through and check each as a process of elimination.

 

[bruiser]

thank alot sounds a good plan apart from the so much of washing lol ha ha :lol:

 

[Kalsius]

No worries mate, I have done an engine bay clean with Gunk and a hand spary bottle and as long as you cover the electrics and areas where water could get you are fine, hence the surprise from people when you mentioned the problem above =]

 

[Miller]

sounds like a loose connection draining your battery then tbh

 

[ashgen2]

was it turning over and just not firing or nothing going on at all??

 

[Miller]

you thinking fuel pump ?

FOIL????? IS A CONDUCTOR DO NOT DO THIS YOU WILL SHORT OUT YOUR ELECTRICS
would be a good idea though to give all your under bonet electrics a good spray with something like wd40 or gt40 water repelant spray.
