First time posting, a little sad, my reliable 2gNT Eclipse GS 420A I've had for the past 5 years that never cause me any issues hit a massive puddle during a sudden Ice storm in Montréal last week.
The engine did not get flooded although the battery light turned on for a short minute, and turned off.
I went back to work since it was my lunch brake. When I came back I let the car warm up for 10 min, car idled properly, battery light was not on. Everything was good until I left and my Oil light randomly came on (not flashing).
I was about to turn into the parking lot when the car died. I had my booster pack with me and went to boost it, but because of all the ice rain falling on me I accidentally put the red on black black on red and blew the fuse..
Got the car towed home that day.
I let it sit for 3 days until I was able to work on it.
After changing the engine fuse, with a boost the car started but the oil light was still present.
Although everything was running well, idling good, temp gauge perfect.
I decided to drive it to see what would happen, the oil light started to become intermittent. Was going on off on off, until it went away completely.
The next day I thought I was in the clear, as I drove it around for a solid hour no issues.
The car suddenly died on me again on the road this time it will not turn over.
Wondering if the ECU is intermittent/fried?
Checked crank sensor, its good.
Why wont the car turn over?
The alternator fuse looks intact but maybe it is blown?
