I do have corrosion on cables. And bad batterie terminal connections. But I don't believe that could be it.

 

What do you think will happen to the electronic device like a phone if you submerge it in water? Will it destroy the phone? NO, it will still function when water dries out.

 

Meh. Almost true.
It will if you continue to use the phone. While its whet.
Electricity and water do not mix. If the phone is off then it will function. But if it was on and electricity arced and caused blown connections then it will not.

 

It will still work once it dries even the phone was on.

 

“The car’s electrical system also is subject to flood water damage,” Nielsen explained. “Engine computers, sensors, sound systems and other electronic devices can sometimes be salvaged, but unless they are thoroughly cleaned and dried, inside and out, problems caused by corrosion and oxidation may occur weeks or even months after the flooding.”

Many parts of a car are difficult to clean and dry because they are hard to access. Door locks, window regulators, wiring harnesses, heating and air conditioning components and many other small devices are tucked away in hidden spaces. These items may work okay initially following a flood, only to fail at a later date due to contamination by dirty water.
