well actually, just over the hood a bit.
I was at the local OHV area today doing the practice course. I was doing fine and following a few atvs. I guess i was too focussed on crossing the rocks because I took my eyes off of them. When I saw them again, they were on the other side of a water pit. Me thinking that they went through, proceeded to go through. The short of it - didn't make it. got stuck in the middle and quit (without a fuss just kind of shut down), and water (lots of it began to enter the cabin. It got pretty high before the Rangers came and assisted by pulling me out.
So that's what happened. Tried to start the Cruiser afterwards and even though every electrical thing seems to be functioning, all i hear is a tick tick, like a failed starter. I waited about 45 minutes in the rear (was 45 degrees) until a tow unit came. I was not in a position to be loaded so he asked me to try to start it which I did. Amazingly it started. i shut it off immediately to inspect under the hood. After about an 1.5 hour tow home, it's back to just the tick tick sound with the starter not engaging.
My question to the group is, have any of you had this experience after a water crossing (failed water crossing). And, if so, what should I look for or do to get me going again. i wasn't prepared for this, very embarrased, and have 3 children that are relying on me to get to school. Any help or ideas is much appreciated...
