Who is your carrier?, I would to call if you have coverage....flood damaged cars are bad news. You might try calling Serpro or service master they have products that stop mold, and can dry out about anything. I didn't read the entire string...but pulling the carpet...seats etc are the first thing to do and get them in front of a fan.
Lgaff

 

the left front speaker is static-like now. im not worried, ive rebuilt a few bose amps recently..i have no fear there.

i too thought of renting the carpet cleaner. and ill try that first. if no sucess, then ill start to pull everything. besides it never hurts to clean the carpet!

 

No! Pull the carpets. You will never get them dry, or, the under matting dry.

the cleaner will do a better job of killing mold.

the speaker is ****ed. the paper cone itself is toast.

I am surprised the EBCM didn't die as soon power hit the drowned electronics...

You might get lucky here.... I hope you do.

 

you may be onto something here. i just don't wanna pull the carpet. i hurt, and it stinks. but i cant stop now, i guess ill do it with the aid of my good friend bud light....

oh yea, forgot about the speakers. i can re-cone it, if i can find my old audiophile stuff. if not I'm sure i can find the speakers on ebay.

the ebcm was wet on the inside and had beads of water between the 2 biggest microprocessor's pins. i doubt there was much voltage there to cause any kind of failure in those circuits. or at least i assume, cause its working for now.....

 

I know you don't want to hear this, but you should call your insurance company. I worked as an insurance adjuster for 10 years and I've seen a few repaired flood cars, the problems you will have will be never ending. If you didn't suck water, your engine and trans may be fine but don't underestimate the moisture and condensation that has gathered in your car. You may clear all the trouble codes but you do have wiring harnesses and connectors that have been exposed to water and moisture. The problems that this may cause sometimes don't materialize for some time. I work for a rental car company now and we had a car similar to you situation, we dryed it out, cleaned it up, cleared all the codes, and sent it on it's way to be rented. That same car became a regular fixture in our repair shop(it was never right). I've seen body shops repair these cars only to find problem after problem down the road. The fact that your car is fiberglass has nothing to do with it, it's the water and moisture that ruins your wire connectors. Maybe you have a chance if you gutted the car, but even then you don't really know if you took care of all the moisture that gathered behind the dash board where you have a multitude of wire connectors. Remember that moisture in a closed car rises (condesation on window glass), and when it rises it ruins wire connectors (sometimes down the road). Allot of people think you can fix a flood car, and maybe you can. But allot of those same poeple aren't going to tell you that their power door locks don't work anymore of that the dash won't light up or that their speedo doesn't work anymore. And sometimes people luck out, clean up, and nothing goes wrong . But cases like that were very rare (1 in 10 years) when I was an insurance adjuster. Call the claim in, it wasn't your fault. Insurance companies can't raise your rates for acts of God, but they can and will if you have an at fault accident. jzvette
