I tried the switch turned it over and no click.windows, door locks, and starter do not work.

 

Is your battery fully charged ?

All those things lead to the fuse box - did you get any water 'inside' the truck ?

Stick ur head under the dash and pull the fuse leading to the starter / radio / cig lighter / p. windows

let us know what you see there ..

definitly reset that switch like mike said.

if you vehicle is stuck in gear .. How did you move it when all 4 tires won't budge ? if it's out of park - you should be able to move the gear selector, if it's stuck in park and you're not getting power, than you have to manually change gears underneath ... (learned that the hard way :P )

keep posting, most responses the better ..

 

One correction- this statement is not correct. Gasoline engines typically have 7:1 to 10:1 compression ratios, depending on the performance and fuel specs it's engineered for. If the induction system is full of water, as in the case of a deep water crossing where the intake is under water, the piston can easily suck in enough water through the intake the valve to hydro lock the engine.

With an 8:1 compression ratio,a piston need only suck in 12.6% of the cylinder's total BDC displacement to hydro lock the engine on a compression stroke.

Hydro lock, yah ... but enough power to snap a rod or break piston head ?

I've hydro-locked everything from 2,3,4,6,8,10 cylinders ... *crosses fingers* but never broke anything yet...

Definitly did figure out a 1999 ford taurus with 3 people in it still floats, lol

 

Sure. Has much to do with how fast the engine is turning at the time :-)

Edit: Pretty sure this isn't a diesel. :-) http://www.hyundaiperformance.com/fo...ck-damage.html

He has already said he has no water in the air filter, so let lean toward what may be going on.

As for hydro-locking and engine, most alloy engine will blow out a cylinder wall if the piston takes more then an inch of water.

Check the main fuse block, is the main fuse, a 130 amp, has it popped?

 

all fuses are good, don't know about the relays though. if the car was in reverse when in shorted (or what ever it did) could that be why it turn over. i know you said DII are not prone to that sort of thing.

 

*doesn't turn over

 

How did you move the car with it in reverse?

Also did you try that button on the passenger side of ur car to try and start it ? Should bypass the gear switch (not positive)

 

look i was stuck in the desertand had to hike 4 hrs with about 50lbs on my backto get help. it was pulled with very big truck. i don't know how it moved with it stuck in reverse, but it did. when you move the shifter the light only comes on when it's on R.
