Killed the 535's electrics, again!

[_matt]

Bloody rain!

Went through a huge ford yesterday, water all over the engine.
Today, dead battery, it's not charging lol.

Only fitted a new regulator/stator the other week as well! Bets on it being the alternator this time since it was totally submerged in water.

BLOODY RAIN

I'd have stopped, turned around and found an alternative route

Open it up and open all block/bullet connectors and let it dry for a few hours. Do this on all areas that was under water. If you are lucky its just water that has not evaporated yet. Oh and get new gaskets if you have some water in there.

sadly, no alternate routes, downside of living on a farm type thing.

and yeh, got her partly disassembled and drying out as we speak, lets hope it's just water in all the wrong bits and doesn't mean ive got to throw more money at her lol.

Gotta say though, the electrics on 535's are some of the worst i've ever encountered, every single problem ive had with it has been electrical so far lol
