Well for my pathy this is what you do.

 

Get in and turn the ignition to ON. (or whatever is right before starting)

Then open the door and press the door switch in and out at least 6 times.

This will put it into diagnostics mode.

Close the door and turn the key off but not out

The turn the key back to ON.

Then take it out.

 

This worked for mine but I dunno about yours. Usually when your air bag computer is submerged its fried...

Whoa, dude! What's with the latest trend of R50 owners thinking they bought submarines?!!

 

Nissandoms' advice usually works, but in your case, here's what you need to do before performing those steps:

 

Disconnect negative battery cable.

Remove front seats.

Remove center console/armrest.

Remove and replace airbag computer (shown in photo below)

Reinstall center console and seats

Reconnect battery cable.

BTW, you'll probably need new speakers, too.

 

And lastly, change all of your fluids.

Wow, yeah, your ECU is fried, too, along with who knows how many other sensors and systems. I was surprised that you didn't mention check-engine light in your first post. Expect to spend somewhere anywhere between $1000 (DIY+junkyard parts) and $4000 (take it to a shop) for repairs. And I'm sure you'll find all sorts of other problems as time goes on (headlights are full of muddy water, ABS doesn't work, dashboard doesn't work, transmission dies early, etc.)

 

You'd probably be better off driving it back into that pond and calling your insurance company for an estimate. Otherwise, depending on how many miles are on it, you could sell it on autotrader or craigslist as-is for around $4K. You may as well have parked it in New Orleans during Katrina.

 

If I were you, I wouldn't get an older Pathy. It wouldn't have fared any better in that situation. I would suggest getting one of these. Your username implies you prefer water to land, anyway. LOL. ;)
