Flooded SVX

Not mine (cause I don't have one anymore) but, watching the news tonight, a poor SVX submerged in the flooding we had last night here in MN.

Significant Technical Input
At least the snorkel and tranny vents are above water. With any luck the car will be dry inside, provided they wait for the water to recede before opening the doors.

I will tell you what must be done in this case:

-He should take out all the seats and the floor carpeting.
-Then he should take out all the modules he can see and which are bolted at the bottom of the car (abs, cruise.....) open them up, dry them real good
-Leave the car in the sun for a couple of days...
-Put everything on again and start the car...
-Go to an exhaust shop and remove EVERYTHING RELATED TO IT for mufflers, CO sensors, etc..... and replace them with new ones...

The same case happened to me 2 yrs ago and this is what i did and it worked perfectly...
