2006 Ford Focus 1.6LX - No mods and no new installations/repairs
Hi
This is going to sound random. I drove through a foot of water the other day at a cautious speed. The car drove home with no problems.
A day later I go out to the car and the windscreen wipers are stuttering over the screen, the interior beeper is beeping (lights left on sound), the indicators are flickering and the immobilizer light is flickering randomly.
If I turn the car on its 100% fine and drives normally however every time I turn the car off it starts this strange behavior again. I have resorted to unplugging the battery.
Any ideas would be appreciated?
Thanks
Steve

I'd suspect water in your engine fuse box or wet connectors somewhere under the bonnet causing a short.

If it starts looking like this, there's no point even trying to run

It would save on repair bills though, just a monthly wax to repel blood stains.If it starts looking like this, there's no point even trying to run
