Driving Throug The Flood, Engine Issues

[jumbo]

Been driving through floodwaters of all levels mainly in Ayutthaya.

This morning I tried to start the car, all dashboard lights lit up but no sound from the engine, completely dead.

I turned ignition off, and back on, lights up again, waited two seconds and the car started

Any idea what that could be??

Needle in a hay stack, water ingress can mess things up. As it did start then the heat will dry stuff out. Get the thing hot then leave with the hood up so complete evaporation takes place from all connections, starter, alternator, etc. .
