projekz Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 How bad is it to get the alternator wet? I mean soaked in water, does it just dry up and start working again or can it damage it? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Clean water is no problem, alternators are sealed so they can get wet. Dirty water can dry and leave mud inside, causing problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yozsi Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 everytime i had an alt fail was because of muddy water and mud getting packed in the brushes/stator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 ^^^ What they said. I've gone through countless deep water crossings without issue. IT's the mud that gets caked in them that kills them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
