Car won't start! Help!
My car wouldn't start this morning. It's trying to turn over but it shuts off right before it catches. I tried jumping but that didnt do anything. All of my lights are working properly. I also checked all of the fuses inside the cabin and the fuses by the battery. However, the fuse box to the right of the battery is wet. All of the fuses are wet. I took them out and dried them but no luck on starting either. My guess is it has to do with that flood yesterday. My car was running fine all day yesterday. Left it over night and now it wont turn over completely. PLease chime in with any suggestions. thank you.

i would suggest checking the fuses in the wet box. it's hard to tell with some of the small ones but see if they're burnt out. more than likely they are... i'm not a electric expert, but i'm assuming they got shot out from the water and will need to be replaced...
how did water get up there?! |
I just did some search around the forum and found that the box is called IPDM lol. I don't know how water got in there but all of the fuses are fine. I checked one by one, and some of them had water inside in which I blew dried but still no luck. Now i'm just sitting here =[

maybe it'll work if it dries out? Man i hope your electric is fine. wish i was more help!

Use a fuse checker to make sure, you could also have a bad starter, or you are water locked.
|
any dash lights stay on after it fails to start?
|
lol i just got up from a nap. the three lights that remained after failure to start is battery, cel, and oil. but i think those lights remain lit until the car is fully started. fml. but i dont know why that IPDM box had water in there. weird. all of the fuses are still good. The starter sounds strong. It's trying to start the car, like actual cranking noise. I don't know what else, just waiting for sun to come out so i can bake the engine bay. How do i check the cam sensor?

Thank you all for your help and suggestions. I left my engine bay air dried for about two hours. meanwhile i took my battery to autozone for a recharge. After all the above, the car started up great. Now I did noticed a light screeching noise from the passenger side of the engine. very faint but noticeable when the engine bay is opened at idle. it goes like eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee but very faint lol. any idea on this fellas? normal? but nevertheless, everything starts up great and the car runs fine now. I think im going to invest in one of those aluminum undertray. thanks once again guys.

Sounds like a flooded IPDM.
