Hi All need some help electriacl problem :(

[whirly03]

i went through a lot of rivers at the weekend 2 inch above the bonnet in most places, it would seem i have picked up an electrical fault, basically all my lights on the dash have turned on EG the turbo red light,battery ,timingbelt and oil ,, at one stage on the drive back they flickerd on and of and the battery was charging again, but later they all came on again,, any ideas what has happened? has my alteranter shit its self? ive checked the wires but cant se anything obvious like a lose connection or anything .. they could be a short but im unsure where to start looking,, any help would be great

thank you in advance

Yep, the alternator threw in the towel.
It should be OK once dried out though.

Alternator is either full of water or requires replacement ......give it a good dose of WD 40 see if that helps but it will need replacement in the near future(jokers lasted for 18 months then died)

okso i have just gone down removed the air con pump which i never used lol...

The alternator is dry but i dozed her up with WD ,, still the same the lights are all on ... whats the vacume thing about? would that have sucked up water also? is there anything i can do to that?

The vacuum pump is for the ADD system and seperate from the alternator electrics.

awesome ,l, its just on the same unit thats all , i thought vacuum on an alternator was weird .. as for the ADD set up i have rewired mine so it works properly thats one thing i did do correct hahahaha

ok so i took my truck to an auto electrician , to just make sure some other things had not gone,,, it was just and alternator so no worries puttin on a new one as it was totally buggered,, the only problem is that it had an internal regulator so it will cost me 600 bucks nz about 300 uk pound grrrrr
