Hi Fellas,

I need some help if possible. My wife got stocked in the water yesterday due to heavy rain here in SC. Water got up to let's say 3/4 of the wheels...

She drove the car for 15miles after that and then stops all of a sudden not been able to start the engine again.

It cranks but doesn't start. Been familiar with computers more than with cars I took off every fuse to try to isolate the problem, but I need to know which fuses or relays I should let on to do my trial.

Any other ideas will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

BTW.... it is a 95 Subaru Legacy Brighton (Wagon)

Did it get wet inside the car?

Yes a couple of inches that we took off today...

She shouldn't have drive it but I gues but if I was there I may have done the same...

do all of your dashlights come on like normal?


IIRC, the ECU is in the floorboard of the passenger seat - if water got in the car, you're screwed - please correct me someone if I'm wrong, it may be in the dash, but i thought it was in the floorboard.


taking it to a mechanic is probably your best bet.

The ECU is up under the dash.

The controller under the pass seat is the ABS ECU.
