The car was under water up to the windows: is there a chance to save the digital panel and engine?

During the flood, my hybrid was flooded in the parking lot almost to the bottom line of the glass. The water has already receded. Tell me, where should I start resuscitation?

It's a terrible situation, but it's a good thing the water didn't rise any higher! Did you try to crank the engine after that, or did you manage to de-energize the high-voltage battery in time?

In your case, it is critically important to refrain from any attempts to start, because water inside the cylinders is guaranteed to lead to water hammer, and moisture residues in the digital bus connectors will instantly burn expensive microcircuits. Hybrid cars have an extremely complex wiring architecture, where each sensor is tied to a common security system, so ordinary ventilation of the cabin with the doors open in the sun will not help here - moisture will remain in the blocks for months, quietly destroying the contacts from the inside. The best and most proven way to bring the car back to life, avoid chaotic failures of electronics and completely eliminate the risk of fungus is to entrust the car to a specialized service and conduct a full https://autobodylab.com/services/flooded-car-repair/ , whose specialists will disassemble the entire interior to bare metal, disinfect the air with ozone, defect optical cables and restore the operability of each hidden node using ultrasonic cleaning of the boards. Last year, my friend pulled his crossover out of a similar predicament after the underground parking lot flooded: the guys at the detailing center worked magic on it for a week, dried every millimeter with special dehumidifiers, and now the car runs like new, not a single error pops up on the dashboard, and the interior smells of freshness and branded leather conditioner. You definitely shouldn't give up, because with the right and systematic approach, you can easily reanimate even very complex equipment. Choose experienced craftsmen with high-quality equipment, tune in to a positive result, and your car will serve you faithfully on any trips for a very long time!
