STARTER.
Car electrics aren't my thing, but even though I could see a bad starter preventing the engine from turning over - or even making a sound - it seems unlikely a bad starter would be the sole cause preventing any other electrical component from operating, lighting up, etc.What he said ^^^ Guaranteed it's full of mud.
It wasn't even all that deep. I think I took it a little too fast and got a big splash. We found a loose ground wire yesterday, hooked that up and got dashboard lights. Turned the key and: click. All dark again. The fuses all look good. Gonna clean everything this morning and try again.Car electrics aren't my thing, but even though I could see a bad starter preventing the engine from turning over - or even making a sound - it seems unlikely a bad starter would be the sole cause preventing any other electrical component from operating, lighting up, etc.
My initial thought is a bad ground somewhere or water finally running down into a fuse / relay panel. Exactly how MUCH water did you get into?
i'll check thatDid you clean down to bare metal with the loose ground? Add a star washer between the ground and the mating surface. Sounds to me like your ground is good enough for the low amperage for dash lights, but not enough for starting amperage.
You win! I sanded the terminals and tightened the ground wire some more. Cranked right up. thanks. Saved me a trip to the shop. I was about to give up.Did you clean down to bare metal with the loose ground? Add a star washer between the ground and the mating surface.

I'll check that. Does that mean there is a bleeder screw on the lspv? or are you saying start the bleed from the rear wheels?I’m not familiar with the 98 but does it have a rear lspv? If so, start bleeding there
