Visit Workshop (Battery) & NO power steering after puddle
Heavy rains today after hurricane harvey, drove through a puddle I couldn't avoid. Parked car for moment, started up fine, as I got onto highway, red Visit Workshop (Battery) came on and lost power steering. Temp climbed about 20 degrees above normal but came back down about 10, held about 10 degrees hotter than normal with radiator fan running high.
Got the vehicle home, checked voltage, about 11.4 last I checked. Car will start, but voltage will not come back to 14 and still have no power steering.
Will let the vehicle sit for a day to dry and see what happens when I start it back up then post with an update.
Meanwhile, any feedback would be appreciated. Thank you!
