Q: flood water in the car
Car was parked in the street during the flood. I had about 5-6 inches of water inside of the car and the carpet had become wet, which I am trying to dry off. However, the airbag OFF sign along with passenger seatbelt sign are coming continuously.I tried to start the engine and it seems to be fine. I'm assuming that the Airbag Module could have got wet, which is causing the issue, but I was wondering if anyone knew if this is the reason and if yes what is the solution and how much could be the cost ?
